Default Rims

I found a guy with a set of chrome rims from a 2019 Grand Sport 19/20 inches that he has for sale. my question is will they fit ok on my 2014 Stingray base that has 18/19 black 5 spoke rims on it. I think I can get these t a fair price but would have to add TPMS's and new tires.... don't want to buy until I am certain they will fit ok. Thanks for any help! Courtney

Nope. The offset is wrong for your car and they will stick out. These will only work on the Grand Sport or Z06.

I have a complete set wheels & tires for you, if only you were in DFW...

Yes, you can upsize your rims to 19/20 inch. Mine is a Stingray.

You are better off with 18- and 19-inch diameters on the St'ray because the tire sidewalls are slightly taller giving just that much more protection on all too typically crappo roads. There's no reason for such short sidewalls for street driving. My 2018 St'ray came with 19s/20s, but if I had reason to swap wheels I'd go to 18s/19s. All the best.

It has been a problem for GS models, but the Stingray versions have been fine as far as I know. I had no problems with mine, I just wanted the taller sidewall.

I have to agree - that's why I switched and have these for sale. Some folks really want the low profile look, though.
