C6Zo6 wheel fittment

[BecauseEYEgotta]

Does anyone run C6 GS/Z06 wheels on their Z???
If so, are there fit issues, need for spacers, special offsets???
If you do have them (or 18/19 setup) please share them here!
Thanks,
Frank

Did you need spacers or different offset?

Spacers(18mm hub and wheel centric) for the rears and longer wheel studs.
Fronts work best if used w Z06 brake rotors, otherwise the front tire will extend about 5 mm beyond the wheel opening. But you can use the stock rotors and calipers. I have the Z06 6 piston in front and the 4 piston in back. The 19s in back make the stock rotors and calipers look puny.

The offsets will determine the spacers required if any. More than likely you will need a spacer for the back, front should be OK without one. Also depending on the wheel, you may require longer studs. My C6 ZR1 wheel upgrade required a 10mm spacer given the 59mm offset and longer studs. Front offset was 57mm with no spacer required.

The Z06 brakes are one of the upgrades I’m seriously considering doing once I get one. Thanks for the input [emoji106]

I love the Z06 brakes. They look awesome but the work even better. You literally “stop at will”. I hardly ever use any brake pressure because they just STOP u. In most cases, sooner than u r expecting.
And rather than paint my calipers, I had them polished.

Yeah, it’s a great combo of looks and performance!
My 1st C6 was a GS rather than a base. I drove both and was stunned how great the bigger brakes worked.

BTW, I also invested in 2 piece rotors F/R. Took 36lbs of unsprung rotating mass off. Not cheap but the steering feels much more direct and requires less effort w more feel.

I used a quality wheel adapter instead of spacer and longer studs. Works perfect
