ZO6 wheels

Is anyone running factory Z06 wheels on their car? I would like the 18x10.5 on the back. What is the factory fron size? Just wondering If the factory gm wheels will bolt up with no problems. My car is lowered with DMS springs.

You will most likely have rubbing issues. The backspacing is a little different - so it can cause problems.

Stock Z06's are 18x10.5 58mm offset in the back and 17x9.5 54mm offset in the front. The fronts are no problem. The back has an 8.0" backspace, and that puts the wheel/tire slightly deeper in than a 17x11 GS offset wheel. That pretty much insures extensive hammering of the inner fenders, or a 1/4" spacer. But I don't like using spacers myself.

the 17.9s work both on the front & the back of the 4th gen camaros. the only problem is you have to sand down the lip on the back ones that way they are not as tight going on & off.

That can/has been done with an offset made for our cars - but that means aftermarket Z06 wheels - not GM.
