Default BC Forged Wheels - Aggressive Sizing
See link for wheels I am ordering - anyone have any experience with a fitment this size? My car is a 2021 Z51 and will not be lowered.

Do you have the offset specs for the wheels?

Spoke with BC and this large fitment does rub at certain times, so that's off the table for me - same wheels fit perfectly at 20x9+38 front and 21x11.5+50 rear with 255/30-20 and 325/25-21. Bigger issue is the center/mesh area is not flush with the lip, which is a bit of a deal breaker for me. I'll keep looking and report back with options and photos. Thanks much.

You get greater grip (traction) and a better ride with smaller rims..........like 18s and 19s.......

Great looking wheels. Not like most of the bland stuff many people are buying.

Now looking at these BC Forged wheels - gloss black with no visible hardware and max concavity in 20x9 with 255/30-20 and 21x11.5 with 325/25-21.
