Default 18" cup wheels on a ZR1

Hello,

Has anyone tried to mount 18" [OEM or after market] Cup Wheel to see if it clears the rear caliper on a 2013 ZR1?

I understand that they come only on 9.5", and would have to get it widened to 12.5" if it does clear.

Thanks!

Being they only come in 9.5", I doubt anyone has tried. By the time you spend the money widening them you could've gone a different route. I know the 18x12 C7Z wheels are hit/miss on if they clear the CCBs, some fit and some don't

18x12 Forgestar's are 375.00 each, how are you going to buy a Cup wheel and get it widened for less then that? I've sent wheels to Weldcraft before, it was 250-300, then I still had to have them powder coated when I got them back.

I have friends that can do all the fab at cost, and I can paint or powdercoat the wheels myself. Thats how.

Just to be clear, there is no "18 inch OEM Cup wheel". If you find one in that size and style, it is aftermarket.
