What are the Base C7 tire and wheel sizes/offsets? Will my extra set of aftermarket Base C6 wheels be usable with OEM tire sizes? Thanks, Slim.
Go to Tire Rack and find/quote the OEM C7 Michelins. On the spec's tab, you'll find the range of wheel sizes that work with the tires.

Thanks a lot Glen E. That's great news to all C6 guys who want to trade up to C7's and have custom/ extra wheelset that will swap. I just recieved a new set of Michelins PS2s on Cray Scorpions for my birthday this summer. Now I can order a C7 with the base painted wheels and swap later. Slim.

The offsets for the 18" front wheels are 40mm for the C6 and 56mm for the C7. The C6 wheels will stick out 5/8"Originally Posted by Glen e

The 19" rear offsets are the same.
This according to Chevy parts.
I intend to use my GM accessory 15 spoke aluminum wheels off my C6 on the C7

+56mm is the correct spec for base C6 front wheels.
The Z06/GS front wheels are +40mm.
