You should try to get a hold of a base C6 with the Z06 package and test them - if they fit, post pics, and I would be very interested.Maybe you could ask right in this thread if some one near to you with a BBK Base C6 would allow their car to be use for test fitting...
1. 1/4" hubcentric spacers.
2. ET lugnuts
(more than 1/4" spacer would require longer ARP Wheel Studs rather than the ET Lugnuts).
I think that you're offsets are going to be pretty darn close and if they don't fit; they shouldn't require much more than a 1/8'th or 1/4 inch wheel spacer.
If you guys could let us C6 guys with the Z06 BB's let us know about fitment, we would appreciate it.

Love these wheels, especially for the price.
Not that this helps too terribly much, as it's (gasp) a Mustang, but it does show roughly how they look in a real life backdrop mounted with tires.......... against perhaps, ohhhh, LeMans Blue-ish.

I could be convinced to make the drive down unless you find someone closer, but it would probably be next week Saturday.

Z06 brake fitment
I have a customer in DC with a C6 with Z06 brakes who purchased a set of 18" all around. We will soon know if they fit or not.

I will let you know on the fitment. They are also available in 18x9 and 19x10.5. The cost on the 18/19 combo is $ 1196.00 shipped.

I have been looking for wheels that will fit a base C6 with Z06 for a couple of years now. I currently am using another brand that do clear (will not mention them here) but am looking for something like yours.
Having looked for a while, I have learned a thing or two about base C6 and Z06 wheels fitment such that if you decide to do this test I can supply some useful info.
If you wish, please PM me if you get a hold of a car to test on and I can fill you in. If we can make this work, you will sell some extra sets for sure as there are a number of us out here running the Z06 brakes on base cars...

Road Racing Appropriate
Would these wheels hold up to HPDE days (10 - 15 per year) on a 450 RWHP C6? They are great looking wheels and the pricing is excellent. I know the company (TSW) is a racing sponsor, but these do not appear to be forged wheels for road racing applications. I am tempted to get a set of 18X9 and 18X10.5 for track days but am not sure how they would hold up. Am I wrong?

suggestion: while I know you're promoting the 19/20 combo with tires, etc., if you have other sizes (which I had to read down to find), I'd say put them up on Post 1, with prices if you have that, too. making it easy always helps sales imo.

they make an 18x 9.5 with 40m offset that is identical to the z06 front size just gotta se if it clears the brakes and for the rears 19x9 with 20mm offset that could easily be widened 3" by weld craft
