Default Z06 Wheels

Will the Z06 19x10 and 20x12 wheels and tires fit on a Corvette Stingray without the Z51 package ?

I want to put on my sister's car but don't want an issue like sticking out to far or rubbing !

Thanks

No, they do stick out and you risk body damage if the suspension compresses far enough.

Here is a thread with some visuals:

The GS and Z06 are referred to as "wide-body" for a reason. Wider fender panels are required accommodate the considerably wider wheels and tires.

If you're willing to buy aftermarket wheels there are a number of vendors, including some on the forum that sell Z06 look-alike wheels for the Stingray.

Correct, Z06 repros are available in OEM Z51 sizes from forum vendors like House of Wheels.

I bought a set of chrome Z06 replica wheels for my base 15 coupe. I got them from Bob's Wheels in Florida. They arrived quickly. I also replaced the original run-flats with Sumitomo non run-flats. The car is much quieter and now I can talk to my wife without yelling.
They are chrome so I guess that makes me a geezer!!
