Default Another Wheel Thread
I have a 2021 C8 Z51 and want to put wheels on with a 14mm less offset in the front and a 16mm less in the rear.
Will they work or will they rub with stock the tires?
Stock front rims are 19x8.5 52mm offset Rims I'm wanting are 19x8.5 with 38mm offset and will stick out .55 inches more.
Stock rear rims are 20x11 64mm offset Rims I'm wanting are 20x11 with 48mm offset and will stick out .63 inches more.
Will be putting stock tires on them. Company says they work but I want to ask actual Corvette owners first.
Thanks!

I went with 38/48 with stock tires and was a perfect fit. Front and rear were sat inboard of the fender approx. 1/8 “. Exactly the look I was after.

Beautiful car. Are the wheels MRR F23? How do you like them? Have you used them on track? I’m considering the F23 for track use.
