zo6 wheels w/ brake upgrade
 
Sorry if this has already been aswered but I was wondering how much of an offset the wheel has to have to clear the zo6 six piston caliper? I wanted to go with he reproduction zo6 wheel in hyper sliver W/ 18x8.5 in the front and 19x10 in the rear havent figured out tire size yet.

Please Help , :willy:

offset is not the issues with brake clearance it's wheel design .... many wheels which are the exact same offset and width vary widely when it comes to brake clearance

I have the Z06 reproductions with the Z06 Brakes. You need to go to 18x9.5 Frt and 19x11 Rr. The stock tires will work, but I went with 265/35s front and 305/30s rear. You could also go with 275/35 front and 295/35 rear. Hope this helps,
