thats really the offset? I remember running 0/+12 on my 370 back in 09'. I wish I could have concave wheels on the vette.

I would love too but I had to buy a daily for work. Hopefully one day I will be able to afford a Z. Other than the wheel options I am 100% satisfied with the Z51 but the new Z06 is awesome!

Higher offset applications do not allow for much concavity. There are concave wheel options for the C7 but obviously not as deep as what you would have on a Z06.

If someone would produce some simple fender flares for the base car, this problem would be solved.

no. they will stick out 2 inches, look ridiculous, and rub the fender.

How are people tucking 325 rubbers under that high offset? I can't find an aftermarket rim I like with such a narrow selection of rims fitting these specs. And no way am I willing to shell out 5K for rims alone :-(
