Visually the zo6 is gorgeous with all the right lines and nice wide body. The wheel gap although not extreme could use some tweaking for a more tailored look.
I decided to lower the car approximately 3/4" and space out the rear wheels to bring them more in line with the fenders. The car is equipped with the front lift system requiring the use of coilover collars. In the rear a 20mm rear adapter was used with no modifications necessary to install. Very happy with the results!
Do you have a before picture? I'm not seeing a difference from stock pictures. Maybe a side-by-side comparison with the same car would help see it better. Thanks.
I lowered mine down on all 4 corners with just the coil over adjustments as I don't have the front lift. Much better looking.
he one thing that i think really looks bad is how far in the rear tire is as compared to the fender.
Not sure why GM did that.
didn't like the idea of grinding down my wheel studs when using a spacer and I wanted different rims anyway, so I ordered a set of new rims with aggressive offsets to bring the wheel out, especially in the back.
Visually, its my only knock on this car, other than that I love the lines and that it isn't soft with too many rounded lines.

Which wheels did you go with? I'm waiting on Apex to release their 20/21s.

Thank you. The front collars are from Paragon Performance and the rear wheel spacers are from Vettepro.
Never heard of the Vettepro spacers. What is the reason they don't require shaving studs like other ones? That's been the only reason I'm not willing to do rear spacers.
Wow that is a huge difference on stance. Like the look. Very aggressive. How is the suspension working for you? Do you notice anything with the travel on the magnetic drive? Does each mode still feel the same?
Its pretty cool how the light makes both the cars look like different colors. They are rocking

It''s not specific to the brand or make...has to do with the thickness. The 15mm spacers require trimming the studs to thread properly. The 20mm size bolts directly with no modifications. Only thing to keep in mind if your car is equipped with carbon ceramic brakes the spacer needs to be a certain diameter to fit flush inside the ring hub. The vettepro spacers meet this criteria and work for both CCB or steel brakes.

No noticeable difference in ride quality in any mode. Car drives the same and still has amazing ground clearance.

Well Said and great info for future spacer owners to know this!!! Paragon needs to rethink this for their spacers and CCB. @95vettski Is there anyway you could measure the height from the ground to the fender lip center of wheel in the front. Curious to the difference in height between the Cicio and Paragon "true" measurements. I debated on both for a bit and went the Cicio route. Cars at GM getting the front end lift bled and of course they're busy. Huge difference in appearance between the stock and Proper Stance!

Great look! I have a set of Paragan 20 mil spacers I bought used and later found that Paragan uses the 15 mil on the Z06's the 20 are for the Stingrays. Based on your set up the 20's will work. Is there any chance they will hit the fender lips? I was going to put some negative camber front and back so that would help clearance.
The only way I would do spacers is if I increased the stud length. I would not use spacers that bolt to the current studs and have studs of their own. Especially on a car I was going to track.
You better hope you never have problems with the front lift system as Chevy will deny warranty service for the front lift system if you have ever used Paragon colors.
