Anyone know the minimum offset required for a stock bodied C6 with Z06 brake package?

Also what size front and rear would I be looking at? Wanting to stay with 18 front, 19 rear.

So 18x8.5 front and 19x9.0 rear?

It is not as simple as that. The way the wheel is shaped has a big effect on this as well.

If you look at the CCW website for example, they sell different types of wheels in which some will fit big brakes and others will not. Ace makes some wheels that will clear big brakes brakes as well. A quality wheel company will list or know if it will fit if you ask them.

The wheels I'm looking at are the Forgestar f14. On their site they list a couple different wheel sizes and offsets. I'm told a wheel 53mm in front and 63mm in rear will work but I don't know the width of the wheel.. just 18 and 19.

It does state "Clears big brake kit" so is it safe to assume they will work?

It isn't just a matter of what the offset is. It also depends on how thick the spokes are and how they are shaped. For instance, I installed the LG G Stop big brake kit on the front of my C5Z. It fit fine under the stock 17x9.5 wheels. The spokes on those wheels curved outwards and there was a nice pocket for the caliper to fit in with lots of room. I tried running C5Z style aftermarket wheels and they hit the caliper since their spokes were so much thicker than the stock wheel.

I was told by FS that only the 19/20 package will work. This didn't work for me as I track my car and need more tire options such as the RE-11s which they don't make in 19/20. If you don't track the car you can do a 19/20 setup with the FS's.

Update: What I found in my research was the Ace R1s (which I chose), the TSW Nurburgrings and the TSW Interlagos. These are the 3 I found that fit offset wise in 18/19. I'm sure there are more but I don't know of them.

what offset are you using on the rear of the ace r1... they either come with a 63 or 73 rear offset.


i left a message and emailed d2autosports a forum vendor on here earlier today regarding the forgestars and if they would fit c6 z06 brakes on a narrow body c6. hopefully ill get an answer tommorrow.

73 but I believe 63 will work too. I was told two different things so I chose 73 but I'd bet anything 63 is the ticket.

Here's forgestars on a C6.

Ordered my F14's two weeks ago and now have the rest of the six weeks to wait. I ordered mine just for track duty in 18"s front and rear. Let you know on the fitment when they come in....hard to beat the looks and price of these. Just the wait that bites!
