My ‘06 with new C7 repro’s
Hey all, I’m new to the forum and wanted to show my setup. Recently purchased these C7 ZO6 reproduction wheels. It was very hard to find any photos of this exact setup online so here’s my info:
-suspension is stock in the photo w/factory wheels
-installed 19X8.5 +56 offset front wheels on Nitto Invo 245/35-19 tires
-installed 20x10 +79 offset rear wheels on Nitto Invo 285/30-20 tires
Initially I went w/non hub centric 5mm spacers and that didn’t look the way I wanted, nor did I like the play/sloppiness between the hub and the wheel. I removed those and installed 20mm ECCPP hub centric wheel adapters:
20mm (roughly 3/4”)
5x120.7mm bolt pattern
70.3mm bore
Then I lowered the car on the factory bolts just a bit, 3 full turns in the front, 2 full turns out back.

F14 FORGESTARS 18X8.5 FRT 17X10.5 R

I for the life of me cant remember the offset in the front. I want to say its 50mm. Its nothing special. Its the offset Forgestar does for the 18x8.5 on the narrow body. Front tire is the stock 245/40R18. The rear is 17x10.5 with the 65mm offset. 315/35R17 MT R.

Craig 'Manta' before/after
The 2010 came with these 18"/19" Cray Mantas but there was a lot of pitting on the rear lips. One bonus of the black wheels is that the car seemed lower. Who knew?
The way it came. Too much bling for me.

i think a black or CF rear spoiler and front splitter along with black headlights and blacked out tail lights and front and rear blacked out fog and reverse lights would really set your car off even more love the color sir

I have Michelin Pilot Sport 4s now but the same tire specs.
My mistake.. my rears are 10.5 not 11.
Front: 255 35/18
Rear: 305 30/19
Wheel specs
Front: 50 Offset, 21lbs, Rotary Forged
Rear: 65 Offset, 23 lbs, Rotary Forged
(Note, since I have Z06 Big Brakes... I needed 2.5" wheel studs, 1/4" billet spacer, and open ended lug nuts to fit those babies)

Thanks, that combo looks awesome! Spacers on just the front I assume? Did you have to lower the car to compensate the shorter tires? Thanks again for all the info.

Height is absolutely perfect. Since tires are a bit wider the aspect ratio brings tires to 25 inches. 265 would actually work as well and probably better. My bridgestones were ran wider then my michelins. Next tires ill get 265 for front. And yes spacers are front only yes
