Wheels .. Forgestar F14 (Silver)

Front Wheels: . 17 x 9.5
Front Tires: . . .285/40 -17 .... (0.4" Taller than the stock GS/Z06 Front Tire)

Rear Wheels: . 18 x 11
Rear Tires: . . .295/40 -18 . . . (0.6" Taller than the stock GS/Z06 Rear Tire)

I used 40 aspect ratio tires on the front and rear, just to get more sidewall than what the stock size GS/Z06 tires have.

Welcome to the forum. A quick google search brought up more images than you'll get here. As others have said, what model of C6 corvette do you have? What color?

Default rims

Reno you need to look at the overall picture and size up your tires as well, I run 18 '' rims on my restmod 66 coupe but I went with a 315/40/18 in the rear and it gives me the beefy tall rubber look .Pick what you like, but for me the all black is not my cup of tea .I like these rims as well .and heres my black 66 .

The car may not be a C6, but I think those wheels are an excellent choice for the C2 .... Very classy !

In fact, I think they would look great on a C6

18” minimum would be my advice, preferably 19”

18/19” for the street is a nice compromise between size and enough tire, keeps the TC happy

you can get the F14s in any color if you choose to o that route but you could go with the standard satin black or gunmetal which they in stock now you can get a 18 square set up or 17 square, now i recently bought a set of rear only 17x10.5 65mm offset and was going to buy a pair of 17x4.5 or 17x5 skinnys but was told that the 18x8 F14s 15mm offset for the 2010-2015 5th gen camaro will fit a C6 base model aka narrow body so im looking into doing that stay tuned
