C6 Z06 wheel/tire

[secondchance]

Does anyone know if the new Z06 wheel/tire (Front 275/35ZR18, Rear 325/30ZR19) would fit ZR-1? Are bolt pattern the same? Rear offset?

sc,

I have been looking at this very combo for some time.
18s should be ok with their offset for the front. I have been told that 19s might rub inner fender in rear. Offsets I have seen for these wheels is in the
56-63mm range requiring at least a 20mm adapter.
Let us know what you've found. Darn Locobob is the guy that started all this.

i saw a picture of the factory C6 Z06 wheels on a C4 ZR-1 and the rears looked fine but the fronts stuck out too far. I would go with the stock wheel tire setup on the back and some aftermarket fronts with a better offset that tucked them in a little more.

sc,

Thanks to =Jeff= and his photochop capability, here's a pic of what mine would look like with 18/19s. These happen to be Comp Grey. For my car, I would do either silver or machined face with comp grey windows.

Hmm, looks like a HotWheels C4 Not too sure about it

YUM! :cheers:

Bob,

So it looks like even with a 59mm offset, you could use a spacer of only 12-13mm? I would have thought you would need a 59 - 36 = 23mm spacer?

Thanks for all the input.
Somehow, newer wheel styles do look a little odd...
"Hot wheels" is a perfect description.
I think I will hold off until someone is actually brave enough to try this for real.

I guess I jumped the gun.
I read the thread and saw Locobobs pics.
I see what you mean USAFPilot - It seems rear looked good but front sticking out could be an issue. Not only cosmetic but could also create problems for ball joints, in my opinion.

Here's someone that already did it.

I like it :thumbsup: If I could find a set cheap enough I think it would make a nice back up-change up

[-=Jeff=-]

I don't know, I think the back is too much wheel..

i think 18s all the way around would be the max I would do

Keep in mind that the Z06 rims are 12in wide as opposed to 11in. A .5 in spacer provided enough clearance inboard but looked slightly tucked in outboard. A .6 or .7in spacer would likely be ideal for rear fitament.

You can buy aftermarket 56/57mm offset 18x9.5's for the front, they are a bit heavier than OEM though.

56/57 mm offset will tuck the wheel inside the fender for front?

Correct. The factory front offset was 56mm.
