I had a deal going at belle tire but then the guy tells me that he found out he cant fit the c5 corvette wheel on my car but he can fit the c6 zo6 i was after this one (C5) AND i was looking to go with 18".




Is it just the replicas that they have at belll wont fit my camaro? Anyone know were i could get the right replica c5 from that will work?


thanks

 

There are guidelines in the Wheels and Tires FAQ telling you what offset is required for various width wheels, to fit on a 4th Gen.

Stock C5 wheels are:

Front: 17x8.5" 56 or 58mm offset (varies by year). Will fit on a 4th Gen, but will sit a bit deep in the wheel well.

Rear: 18x9.5" 61 or 65mm offset (varies by year). Will fit on a 4th Gen, but will sit a bit deep in the wheel well. A really wide tire on this wheel may require some light hammering of the 4th Gen inner fender liner.

C5 Z06:

Front: 17x9.5" 54mm. Fit perfectly on a 4th Gen\

Rear: 18x10.5" 58mm. Sit too deep in the fender well, and will require heavy hammering of the inner fender liners, and cutting the projecting edge off the jounce bumper brackets (on most 4th Gens, but not all).

C6 Z06:

Front: 18.0x10.0" Don't have an offset for these.

Rear: 19x12.0". Don't have an offset, but the 19x10.0" non-Z06 wheels have a huge 79mm offset, and require a 1.5" adapter to fit in the rear of a 4th Gen. Even if you space the 12" wide wheel out far enough to clear the inner fender, the wheel/tire is going to be about 1" outside the 4th Gen fender line.

 

Thanks for the info. I went to discounr and they have a replica c5 that will fit. They told me if the wheel dont fit they dont put it on with spacers or anything. Anyone know if the discount replicas are nice?
