All depends on the offset.

But your example, OEM Z06 wheels do rub on the back and require a little banging of the fenderwell to clear. Im getting a set of OEM Z06s pretty soon here, so ill let everyone know it goes.

Yes, OEM Z06 rear wheels DO rub.

How about wheels from either www.performancewheeloutlet.com or www.afswheels.com?? The ones from Performance Wheel Outlet are listed under the "Camaro" category?!

If the rims rub though, can you put a spacer behind them? Or do you just have to hammer out the inner fender 'til they fit?!

They are not OEM and are made with f-body offsets.

Yes, you can do both. The safety of the spacers is questionable. Check Advanced Tech for a thread on it.

Thx, that's what I was wondering. I like the looks of Z06 rims....................I'll probably get a set one day, and I don't have a problem with aftermarket vs OEM.
