Good to know, I have the same. What did you use? Hand tool or power tool?

Any recommendations for spacers with aftermarket wheels? I have a set of MRRs coming in March (hopefully) it's the Z-06 style in the stock sizes..I'm currently running the black carbon flash wheel with the contrast lip. I was thinking,since they are in the stock size,and I'm going to use the same tire,I could go with the 20mm Paragon spacers and just check if I need to shave any metal from the studs..My car is a non -Z-51,1LT. Paragon also said I can lower the car about 1 inch with their springs...

Are there spacers for the C8 that adapt it to the C7 lug pattern? I have wheels and tires (w/TPMS’s) for my C7 that I wish to use on the C8.

I believe even thought the MRR wheels are the stock size they likely have a different offset to make them fit the fender better. The spacers would push it out too far.,

Hello as for the wheel fitment you will not need any spacers or mods, simply bolt them right on, No spacers needed, Our wheels are already built with a lower off set to sit flush on the fender lines with no issues.

My C7 is a 2014 ZF1 Coupe. My aftermarket wheels are TSW Nurburgring’s, 19 and 20 inch. I have ordered a 2022 C8 Convertible with the standard wheels and want to mount the C7 aftermarkets using spacers when I take delivery. Thanks for your help.
