I have heard, mention of the C8, possibly having different lug nut, spacing? Does anyone know if this is just a rumor, or does it have some validity too it? If it actually is different, seems only logical, any aftermarket source, will need time to tool-up, for such a change, also may be more expensive and or delay any proposed purchase for aftermarket wheels. Thanks for any info.

The rear wheels need to be more concave or deep dish. They need to make a tighter rear package or make a wider body. the current wheels look weak
The brakes look pretty set in most pics. Looks like a bad hub setup. its like they didnt wanna spend time on machining a new wheel, so they copy/paste the front.

First, everyone knows they can not be more concave or deep dish. And contrary to what you said or think the design while not pretty or light does look like it will be very strong.Originally Posted by NONN37

OP is not talking about the wheel design. He's asking about the bolt pattern, and I heard it was different as well, but can't find the reference. If true, no previous Corvette wheel would fit even if the offsets and sizes were right.

The lugs are 14mm x 1.5 rather than 12 x 1.25. I believe the bolt circle is the same. If you're wondering if C7 wheels would fit, we don't know about offset or center bore yet, which will also be important. It will probably be possible to enlarge the lug holes in some wheels (it's only 1mm of metal taken off the edge of the hole) but offset will be critical.
Offset dimensions have changed for 2020 to 52mm front / 64 mm rear
Bolt pattern in still 5x120mm
2019 wheels will not fit on a 2020

I've seen something different for offset (although it could be completely wrong)... where did you get this info? Originally Posted by bbbad2dabone

They are different, the old was the same 5-4 3/4, the new 2020 is 5 on 120mm. It is about 14 thousanths different but enough that you would not want to use and older bolt pattern on the new one even though you could get it to mount.

I also read somewhere that you'll have to reset your torque wrench from 100 lbs to 130 lbs.
