Wheel Fitment

[Billy Mild]

What stock corvette wheels will fit the ZR1 offsets? I found a set of C5Z06 wheels with tires for a good price. I was wondering if they would fit the ZR1. I know the a Amold replicas do not fit the rear of e ZR1.

Is there a Wheel Fitment thread by any chance where owners talk about what wheels they have along with Offsets.

I've researched this ad nauseam. Virtually nothing fits. The combination of 36mm rear/56mm front offsets and the staggered sizes with small (by today's standards) wheel diameter makes them difficult to update. You may be able to make certain later Corvette wheels work but you'd need to use spacers on the rears, at a very minimum. Good luck.

And by the way, there are absolutely A-mold replicas that fit. AFS has an 11" replica with the stock 36mm offset. It is NOT the deep-lug design, however; they used to have it years ago but not anymore.

I'd pass on these. They don't fit well at all and you will need spacers for the rear.

Rear wheels on the C5 Z06 are too small...

Wait for the right price on OEM A molds or something else?

Yes that is correct. There are no deep lug aftermarket a-molds any more. I could not even get rears with 36mm either. I went with 17x11 50mm rears with custom made billet hubcentric spacers that are 19mm. If you get spacers you want the ones that also hold the wheel in the center cone area not just the bolts holding on to the wheel. I have seen track cars use these types of spacers but they are not cheap. I paid 250.00 for 2.

What are you looking for? I've got a set of chrome A Molds, the chrome is somewhat pitted, I don't know if they're aftermarket or not. I took them off my 95 Z when I bought Shelby wheels. I have no idea what they're worth, let me know if you're interested. Not pushing them just trying to help if you're interested

C6 Z06

Yes they do, but same issue. Need spacers on the rear wheels.

Plus, that 40mm offset front wheel will stick out and look wrong. I bolted '87 rims (36mm offset) onto my car temporarily while my Z rims were being refinished, and the fronts looked downright goofy. When they protrude beyond the fender, that can't be fixed with a spacer.

Actually the Z06 fronts work well when used in conjunction w the Z06 brakes. The combined offset puts the tire at the edge of the front fender. I originally had the wheels on front w Brembo caliper and rotor. The hat on the Brembo rotor pushed the wheel about 1/2"-3/4" past the front fender. Once I replaced the Brembo setup w the Z06 hardware, the wheel and tire fit w the fender line.
As for the rears, I use an 18mm hub and wheel centric spacer w longer GM racing studs. With over 2 years of use, I haven't noticed anything detrimental regarding the use of the spacers. If there are supposed to be some issues with that, I am not aware of them.
I think this perspective gives a good view of how wheels fit within fender line.



Another view


The 18/19" combo gives it a bit of a rake to the stance. You can see here how the Z06 rear brakes fill in the wheel hub area.
