Will Stock Z06 Wheels fit on 4th-Gen?

I know the bolt pattern is correct, but I was wondering about the offset, on my Camaro right now the offset is 56+ for my 18x9.5 wheels, but what are the offsets for stock Z06 Wheels for the fronts and backs?

Or does anyone have any pictures of a set of speedline GM Z06 wheels on their ride? Also does anyone know the weight of this wheel?

I have Z06s' on my '94 z28 and the only problem was the hub size. Fixed it by removing the ridge on the inside of the wheel opening that fits over the hub. My wheels came from Discount Tire (not sure which aftermarket supplier they use). No problem w/ backspacing, front or rear. Mine are 17 x 9.5. E-mail me if you want pics. Hope this helps.

Stock Corvette offset is +56mm front, +65mm rear. 4th gen Camaro's are +54mm. You will definitely need spacers for the rear, I have a friend who has done it with C5's. I bought aftermarket C5's with the Camaro offset to avoid this problem.

You don't say what year your car is, but if it's an LT1 4th-gen the wheels will fit. A +56mm 9.5" wheel will fit on all four corners of the car. You may have to file a little bit off the wheel so it will slide over the hub, but the wheels will not contact any body panels or rub on anything. (Unless your car is slammed 2+ inches )



I just got these for my '98

Nobody has mentioned the 18x10.5 that come on the rear of a Z06. I have seen a LS1 car that had them on the rear. There was one in GM High Tech magazine too. A guy @ CCW wheels said they should fit as long as you keep the original size tire, 295/35/18, on the back.

I was wondering about GM OEM Z06 Wheels, the authentic wheels. I'm contemplating on buying a used set with a set of 275 and 305 Hoosier A3S03 Tires...

I hear those wheels are light and they are made by Speedline so I want a set to powdercoat black to match the Black car...

Oh I officially completed my T-Top conversion Today

I once brought up that I heard the difference in size (18's -rear 17's -front) and there was much debate about whether there would be a problem. Just thought you might want to know.
