Default Wheel fitment / bolt pattern

Anyone get the specs on what offset and bolt pattern the z51's are? Would love to start pricing out a set of track wheel and tires for it. I know the z51 staggered fitment is two odd sizes with not so many matching sets available. I would imagine manufacturers will start making them in our size because well, there will be lots of z51's on the streets and they need tires.

Also: I think I am going to love you tech / performance subsection. I am not one for drama or random posting. I prefer things with a purpose.


Because any thread is worthless without pics.

Does the with, which at least gives you an idea on possible tire width (I assume you want more than stock, no?).

At that wide, not necessarily. They would weigh more. The stock width could work fine with some hoosier A6 tires etc. Im curious on the offset and bolt pattern. And im not spending 5 grand on JUST wheels.

Well, bolt cycle is there, rim width can range from anywhere between base and pfadt and to be honest, it's probably best to get yourself a rim / wheel size tool.
They're cheap, like 80 bucks on Summit and take all the guess work out of the deal.

I guess Pfadt is selling RACE wheels not race wheels.

Looks like a C6 fittment wheel would work pretty well for the track,
we bolted a 2012 Grand Sport wheel up and it fit, the rear clearance was approx. 4mm but the front stuck out 2-2.5" but that's a 12" wheel

Our GT2 wheels fit the base and Z51 cars without any issue.

18x9 front and a 19x10.5 rear. Will have them wrapped in a 265/305 combo next week for pictures.

Will you have a 18/18 fitment? And, what size tires would fit?

Right now I just have 18/19's for the car. I'll update you as I get more and more info on the car and fitments though.



I'll have pictures of them on the car when I get tires on, and the car back on the ground.

I assume the bolt pattern is the same as C4,5,6?
