C6 Grand Sport wheels on a C5?
 

I'd like to put C6 GS wheels with the stock 275/35/18 + 325/30/19 tires on my C5. My gut instinct tells me I'm going to have scrubbing/ rubbing somewhere. I know you guys know so whoever can help I would appreciate it!

They won't fit properly and will stick out past the fenders. See pic below. Not my car but the wheels are C6Z06 wheels which have the same offset as the Grandsport wheels.

I can handle some overhang. Just not scrubbing! They're amazing wheels and I'm ready to see them on my car.

Replicas??? They would at least have the correct offset.

More pics? GS fronts / Z06 fronts are similar to the square setup I want to run. Impossible to find pics

Yes. I plan on buying the replicas with the stock C6 GS offset. I can live with them sticking out just no scrubbing or bumping....

Your FRC looks great with those wheels, dark tint n paint. I've always been partiar to that color. I take it the 275 are no issue n the front...

245 40 18's up front and no issue either.

Well I did have to cut rear spring to keep it from scraping inside of rear wheel. Car is lowered on aftermarket bolts.

I'm thinking of adding 2" flared rear fenders and changing rear tires to 345s.

Sport Muscle GS wheels with C6 GS Z06 backspacing. 19x10 20x12 stagger with 275 30 19 fronts. 345 25 20 rears. 2" rear flared fenders. 20mm spacer adapter on the rear.

Here is my 02 with 325 rears. The wheels are off an 08 ligenfelter. They don't stick way out. They don't rub. I added a 1/8" spacer in the rear just to be sure. But they don't stick way out.

This may be a better pic.

Thanks for the post. Where can I get those 2" flared quarters? PS this setup really embellishes the C5!

Cleaned up.

Plenty of answers to your questions here.

If you get 2" flared fenders, then you'll need 1" adapters to space it out.

GS Wheels
 

I put new chrome GS wheels on my C-5 the day after I bought it 2 years ago. They are the same size as the stock wheels, as far as size and back spacing. The guy I bought the vette from had just put brand new Michelin run flats so I wasn't about to change tire size. Picked them up new online for $750 for the set. I think they are the best looking "stock" wheel Chevy ever put on a vette, or for that matter, any factory wheel.:flag:
