Best bang for your buck option is the C5 Z06 rear wheels with some Mickey Thompsons.


Ben's 18X11 option is going to cost a bit more but it's a significantly lighter and stronger wheel. If you can spend the extra money, it is the better option regardless of price.

did c5 z06 wheels work for you? i used them and they killed my rear inner fender lips with 315/30/18 hoosiers on them. i had a non z51, when i noticed the damaged i tried fixing by using z51 sways and shocks, same nonsence. i now have the 18x11 ben is talking/selling for my 2015 when it shows up. i want to know because i have other c7 owners asking what im going to do with my old (c5 z06) wheels, i would like to know if they will work if you go no bigger than 295/30/18. ps i have the fronts 18x10 on the way now to match bens rears.

i've said it many times. don't use a C5Z wheel, it's the wrong wheel for the C7.
