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 |

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 Z06 brakes are one of the upgrades I’m seriously considering doing once I get one. Thanks for the input [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry |

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. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry |

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