C6 GS Wheels - INSTALLED!!! :)

[BigIke]

Well I got the wheels on and set up correctly. Hopefully I'm not double posting... 18mm spacer on the driver side. 23mm spacer on the passenger side, I could probably install a 25mm and it would match the driver side perfectly.

Needs big brakes now.

Nice wheels, looking good!!!:thumbsup:

Pardon my ignorance, but why wouldn't you have the same size spacer on both sides?

[XfireZ51]

Are u using stock rotors up front? If so, how far outboard of your fenders are the tires? Until I installed front Z06 brakes and rotors on mine, which made the C6 40mm offset work in place of the stock 56mm.

Also, did th extra 1/5" in the rear spacer make that much difference visually? I'm using 18mm both sides.

Joe, the passenger side is slightly inboard compared to the driver's side.

I like the look.....C6 Z06 wheels and C6 GS wheels give the Z def more of a muscular stance......How do they compare as far as weight wise to the stock set up? Any idea? Nice shop by the way......

I think the weight diff is negligible.

Here's a shot of the 1st Gen C6 Z06 wheels. C6 Z06 brakes are installed in this pic. 18/19 split gives the car a "rake" to it.

325 tires are about 2lbs more than 315s.....EMTs 4 lbs more

Z06 Stock wheel is 26.5lbs vs stock A-Mold at 21.5lbs; appears C6 GS wheels also weigh in at 26.5 pounds

Aftermarket Amolds can be much heavier than that stocks...26+lbs

Thanks Lee. Is that for both front and rear?

I had 325 Nitto Invos on the rears but now have 345 Michelin SS. The weight differential is negligible between those tires. In fact, the Michs' were a bit lighter.

Tire Rack lists the tire weight in the "Specs" tab for the tire....that's just the rears

345/30/19 SS are 35lbs; vs a 17" 315 Toyo Proxy at 30lbs

Thanks Dom, I noticed that before, but dismissed it as an optical illusion.
