Default New Vette Owner - Wheel questions
I'm new to the forum and have just bought a 2012 Grand Sport, cyber metallic grey (same as my 2011 Camaro SS) and have started the mod process. I'm adding the following:
- Corsa axial back sport exhaust with 3.5 dia twin tips
- AR headers
- Airaid CAI
- tune
My question is, I have the factory 18x9.5 front and 19x12 rear rims and would like to upgrade to the C7 Corvette Chrome OEM Style Z06 Wheels - Fitment For C6 C7 ZR1/Z06/Grand Sport 19x10 / 20x12 from Corvette Mods with the factory spacing and am wonder if there will be any fitment issues. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I believe that will work. However your wheel supplier should know for sure and make recommendations depending on your goals. i.e. standard low risk fitment or wider more aggressive fitment.

fitting the 19 & 20's is no problem as long as offset is correct...............

my suggestion would be to contact Keith (DocZ@1stRateCorvette) a forum sponsor here at www.floridaspeedshop.com

he can take care of all your needs with fair pricing, and great service..............

Welcome to the forum, as I see this is your 2nd post............

DO NOT BUY FROM CORVETTE MODS! A quick search on here will tell you all you need to know about them.

I have C7 Z06 wheels on my GS without any issues.

Vette looks awesome. What size rims do you have? I really like the 19/20 look.

The 19/20 combo looks great, but tire selection in the appropriate sizes is pretty limited. I went with OEM Centennial Cup wheels on my GS so the fitment is perfect.

Hmm. Something to think about. What spacing did you go with? BTW, thanks for the help, I appreciate it. This is my first Vette. I've had (and still have) Camaro's and know quite a bit about them, but the Vette is something new for me.

Here’s my 19/20 C7 Z06 wheel setup. No spacers needed and I reused my stock lug nuts. Bought them from Bob at “house of wheels”

Perfect, last question if you don't mind. Are the factory offset or something else?

Jabcat purchased the wheels/tires from us. They are the gloss black C7 Z06 style, 19x10 + 40mm and 20x12 + 59mm (stock offsets).

Below is another one of our Forum customers who went with the gloss black C7 Z06 19x10/20x12"!
