Z06 Wheels on C6

Guys,

I am looking to purchase 4 wheels and tires from a friend. He owns a 2007 Z06 Corvette. Wheels are 18 x 9.5 (front) with 275/35/18 and 19 x 12 (rear) with 325/30/19 on rear. My question is if these whhels will fit without any problems on my 2006 C6?

Thank you,

Valentin

I have asked the same question, and the answer is yes for the fronts and no for the rears. It will stick out ~1-1.5 inches (not good for a car that is lowered or going to be on the track).

Hope this helps.

Some guys have done it, but I wouldn't. The tires will stick way outside the fenders, especially in the back.

Also added Apsis zo6 style splashguards, front and back, to protect the paint. As far as the z06 wheels, I not sure if the 12" rear will be OK. Maybe someone who's done this will chime in. Most refer to the tires as runcraps, but they work a lot better than the stock tires for me at 450 rwhp and 405 rwtq. Good luck.
