Buying first set of wheels for my 2001 Z28
All
I am a long time lurker due to deployments, but I am happy to say I am going to do one of my first upgrades to my 01 Z28: new wheels!
So my question is simply this: will C6 ZO6 replica wheels simply bolt right onto my Camaro or do I need to do any adjustments prior to this? I am set on this particular wheel and have been for a long time. I had heard that 275mm was about as wide as you could go before the tires stuck out the sides (I want to keep the tires flush with the body).
Below are the stats for the wheel i am looking at (sam size for all four wheels)
SKU#: SET-CV07A-17095-5475-54C
WHEEL SIZE: 17x9.5
WHEEL OFFSET: 54
BOLT PATTERN: 5-120.65
HUB SIZE: 70.3
BACK SPACING: 7.38
Thanks for the help

Those will work.
You can go with a staggered set or just get all four that size. Could go up to 315's in the rear without much issue, but yes those are a direct bolt on with some 275-40-17 tires and your good to go

Re: Buying first set of wheels for my 2001 Z28
I'm looking at a set of TOrque Thrust M's. 18in 10.5 315 tires in the back and 17in 9 245 in the front. What is the offset to keep them flush with the fender? I've searched and can't find the chart I've seen on here before.
Thx

Go to the "Wheel & Tire FAQ - General" and look at post 15.
Basically, it's telling you 44/45mm will put the tire at the very edge of the rear fender, or maybe a hair out side it. I like a 50mm offset with a 10.5" wide wheel, because it's a 1/4" inside the outer edge of the fender, and at least a 1/4" from rubbing on the inner fender liner.
