I have a 1998 z28 camaro and I am trying to figure out if the 2008 c6 zo6 19x12 would fit on my car. I dont know if they will or not and I dont know where to even post this, so if anyone knows if they will fit or not please let me know Thanks

 

No mystery where to post it..... I'll move it to the "Wheels and Tires" forum.

 

The widest wheel you can fit on a 4th gen Camaro (without significant modification) is 11", so a 19x12" would be one inch too wide. Your car's stock wheels are 16x8".

Replicas of the C6 Z06 wheels are available in sizes more appropriate to a Camaro. You should look for those.

 

I don't have the offset numbers for the C6 Z06 wheels, but its going to be very difficult to fit a 12" wide wheel in a stock wheelwell/fender. Many of us run 11" wide wheels, and the inside edge of the tire ends up right next to the inner fender liner (often requires hammering the liner), and the outside edge of the tire ends up just under the lip of the fender, when you look straight down from above. A 12" wide wheel will probably put the tire at least 3/4" to 1" outside the fender, unless you modify the wheel well with the equivalent of a "mini-tub".

Look at the FAQ "stickied" at the top of the Wheels and Tires topic listing to see what needs to be done to fit 11" wide wheels.

 

You've have to heavily modify your inner fenderwells and roll your fenders to make that work. Even then I don't think it would work or look good for that matter.

Look here for all your corvette replica wheel needs. If you want the C6-ZO6 go with a 18x8.5 up front and a 18x10.5 in back. It would look good imo.

 

My GM ASEP Instructor told me that zo6 rims will fit, but all you need to buy is Spacers!!!!!!

 

He is wrong.

He probably means that they will bolt up to the hubs. This is true. However, the Z06 wheel is 12" wide, and that's simply too big to fit in a Camaro wheel well without significant modification.

 

I wish they had it in 17x9 and 17x11.

 

What year Z06? The C5 Z06 wheel (18x10.5" 58mm offset rear; 17x9.5" 61mm front) will fit fine. But as already noted, the C6 Z06 rear wheels are 19x12.0", with a 58mm offset. That gives them a 8-3/4" backspace. Adding a 1" spacer to keep the inside edge of the tires off the inner fender liners will put the outside edge of the tire about 1" outside the fender. Yes.... they may "fit" but I doubt most people would want to run their tires that far outside the fender..... actually illegal in many states.
