Can 18 x 9.5 wheels be installed on a 2006 Z51 corvette with no problems?

I’m guessing fronts... depends on the offset. Around et56 should get you close to flush with the fender with room to spare on the inside.

Yes they can. I run 18x9.5's w/265 tires on the front of my C6 with no problems.

Could you please post pics of your front wheel setup from different angles? I am about to do a wide body conversion for the rear only on my base c6 and wanted to use stock z06 sized wheels all around.
