Default Hello from WA state

Hello there my name is Blake and im from the LC valley on the border of idaho and Washington. I recently purchased a 2007 C6 Corvette LT2 with the 6-speed manual and am loving every minute of it. The first car I’ve had where everything works on it coming up from the JDM life haha. The only thing I’m thinking about changing is putting in Apple CarPlay and figuring out what offset of rims work the best for the narrow body. I saw somebody used XXRs and would Love to know if anybody has more information on that we’ll set up. And happy to talk to new people about cars

Stock but pretty

Love that TQ that is always available

Welcome to the Forum, Blake, and congratulations on your nice C6!
I am not near my PC or I could provide you the standard offsets for C6 wheels, although I am sure many on here know them by heart.
For your questions both on the Apple CarPlay and wheel offset I would suggest asking this in the C6 General section at https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-2005-2013-14/.
You may also want to check the Audio section for your Apple question https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...lectronics-20/.
Enjoy your ride and save the wave!
