No, you should not put OEM Z06 wheels on a Stingray. The Z06 and Grand Sport have a wider body and corresponding different wheel back-spacing.

You can buy Factory Reproduction brand of Z06 styled wheels in OEM Stingray size/back-spacing.

These are the Z06 wheels I got from Factory Reproduction which I put on my 2016 Stingray.

I suppose you could get a set just for the track, but will the relevant sanctioning body accept them sticking out so far? I doubt it.

If you want the Z06 look for the wheels, I suggest you look at getting a set of reproduction wheels - they will have the correct offset to fit the car properly.

Will they physically fit? Yes, they will, but the tires will extend out beyond the fenders

Default Z06 Wheels on Z51 Repros




So I installed the Corvette C7 Z06 Rear Quarter Extension and Corvette C7 Front Fender Flares Wheel Trim along with the Corvette C7 Extended Front & Rear Splash Guards and need to get the wheels out approx 25-30mm in front and 20-25mm. I have the Z51 18/19 wheels and also the larger Z51 brakes and want to also go 19/20 and I would probably go 255/30/19 in front and 305/25/20 in rear.

Will the Z06 wheels 19x10 Front and 20x12 in Rear. The overall responses are, they are too wide, but that is what I need. What other issues would become a problem. Thanks
