drag setup for c6!!
Ok here's the deal. Over the past couple of weeks I have been working with mike from racestar ind. To see if they had some lightweight wheels that would fit the c6. And we came up with a set.. here's the measurements:
fronts 17x4.5 bs 2.25" offset -13
Rears 17x9.5 bs 7" offset +44
I've test fitted and ran them on my 06 z51 and have had zero problems. No rubbing, scraping or anything. And they look awesome! The only downfall to them is that both the front and the rears stick out of the fenderwells about 1" from the sidewall to the fender. It doesn't look bad at all but I know that people with stock suspension might b concerned with the tire hitting the fender. I have pfadt adjustable coilovers so I can adjust the ride height a little and stiffen the shocks up to make sure they wont hit. I really like mine and I've talked to mike about getting a group purchase together for you guys if y'all are int. This is a great alternative for a drag setup compared to spending a fortune on ccw's. Here's some pics..

and he said he would make ot well worth Yalls time. I can get a gp setup when y'all guys are ready

Actually the fronts are $270. And yes that's before a group buy. And im telling u he will make the price right. He's a great guy and very helpful and knowledgeable of his wheels.

Those look great!
I'll share a little experience I had with tires sticking out like yours. When you raise the car up, test it on a freeway dip to see if you've got any rubbing. That's where my 315's would rub before I got the wide fenders. They looked like yours - they didn't rub on launch or around town, but on the freeway I used to smell rubber on a big bump!
