Default C6 wheels onto C7

I have Michelin A4 snow tires mounted on 2008 C6, 18" and 19" wheels.
Will they fit on my new C7 with 18" and 19" wheels? Or do I need to buy 2014/2015 wheels?

As long as you don't have a z51 c7 the wheels should fit, if they don't fit there are plenty of base wheels for sale on this forum that will work.

I would test fit them when you get the car.

Default C6 wheels on a c7

I bought a set of 18/19 aftermarket wheels that fit a C6 and "they" said they would also fit my base C7 as the offsets are the same. However, "they" are wrong. The C6 wheel spokes slightly interfered with the base C7 calipers which stick out more than C6 calipers on the front as well as the rear.

I really like my aftermarket 18/19 wheels but the only way those C6 wheels would clear the base C7 calipers is by using a 8mm spacer. I also ended up using "extended thread" lug nuts to compensate for the 8mm spacer. The fitment of the C6 wheels with the 8mm spacers, front and rear, look absolutely perfect...better than stock C7 wheels offsets.

Best advice was the post that said to buy an extra set of base C7 wheels for your other tires set.
