Default C5 wheels?

Does anyone know if C5 wheels fit on a 4th gen f-body with or without spacers?

Yes, they will fit. A small spacer may be needed on the rear to prevent the tire from touching the inner fender or lower control arm.

I personally don't like the thin spokes on f-bodies. The wagon wheels look OK, especially if you don't run the goofy center caps. Z06 wheels look pretty good.

That's weird. I love the thin spokes on dark catfiSSh. The polished on my blue 00 SS were perfect.

I sold my wagon wheels to a fellow that was building up a 99 Camero.
They looked very good on his car.

Like I said, a small spacer may be required in the rear. Friend of mine ran wagon wheels on his 02 Z28, and he used a spacer approx 1/8" thick on the rear.

The only way to know for sure is to try it.

Anyone have the C6 Z06 wheels on their Camaro? I like those rims and I'd like to see what they look like on a Camaro.

You will probably have to buy after-marker heavy weights. Plenty of pics on maro forums.

Ebay has a bunch for sale. OE Wheels. Can get them in 17" 18" and 19" styles. And I've looked on various forums. So far, no one has responded that they have the C6 Z06 style wheels on their F-Bod's.

Maybe I'll be the first if and when I get it done.

To C5 wheels?
