Default OEM C6 z06 wheels on c5 z06 pics! They fit & look great!

Okay so just wanted to share my new wheels, I had my c5 z06 aftermarket chrome replica wheels up for trade on craigslist and got an offer to trade for some excellent condition OEM c6 z06 chrome wheels and tires.

Got to admit I think they look badass!! They stick out a tiny bit but in my opinion I think that makes it look so sick!! And it feels great to have a lot of meat in the back!

Had autozone $20 spacers and they fit great, but today got around to removing the cooling ducts which only took about 10 minutes and removed spacers and everything looks to fit good so far!

Tires in the rear are 325/30/19 and front are 275/35/18

Heres a few pics of the wheels on the car will try and get better pictures! But thats it for now!

Hope y'all enjoy! Corvettes rule!

Thanks! & Yes sadly had to, because my starter decided to give out right when I had arrived to a gas station to check home address.. It was such a bummer had to get towed that day,

So you're not running any spacers on these? I've had my eye on this style Z06 wheels for a while now.

No spacers just the wheels straight bolted on.

... The offset width looks to be at 'maximum' for stock C5 fenders, the question is ,.... why would spacers even come into play ?? It's a good look, much better than the original wheels...IMO !!....

got to admit, they look good on silver... OEM finish makes them that much better looking.

So is it correct to assume that any C6 wheel will bolt on to a C5/C5 Z06?

Default C6 Wheels

Watch the 'offset' on the wheels.
I have 19X10 J79 wheels.
They require a 7/8" hub adapter.

The J79 offset puts the inside of the wheel AGAINST the frame.

I used a 1/8" spacer for the rear to keep from rubbing the inner liner.
