C6 Z06 Wheels For The GTO (HELP)

[AryusTyvan]

Hey maybe you guys might be able to help me out. I'm want to try and fit:

(Front) 18"x9.5" +40 Offset (Also comes in +40, +50, +57 Offset)

(Back) 18"x10.5" +50 Offset w/Spacer (Originally +58 Offset)

Do you think it would work?

If not, what would you change to make them fit Offset wise?

I already have my mind set on these wheels!

The middle ones (Competition Gray)

hey....my car! Use the spacer in the front, no spacer in the rear. They will rub slightly in the rear inner fender until its worn down. If you do a search under my name or "Galen" you will find the offsets. Call Bob at House of Wheels. That is where I got them from. I only had 9.5 in the rear, no rolling, no cutting, stock suspension, so not sure if you can fit a 10.5 with some cutting or something. There is another guy that also has that setup on here to. Do a search, you will find something.

Oh yea, and I recommend longer studs for the front if you plan to do anymore more than just cruise on the rims. I personally did not upgrade and had no issues, but it is recommended because of the spacers you will put in there. The stock lugs will only grab about 3-5 threads on the stud.

[ShelbyGoat]

Does that mean you put 9.5 up front?

No, I had stock 17 size up front. I just though about that. He is asking about 18s and 19s. I had 17s and 18s. 17x8.5 up front with a spacer.

shelbygoat, how much did this set up run you? i dream of having the setup my dad has on his 08' Z06......18x9.5 + 275/35/18 front, 19x12 + 325/30/19 rear.....:p

[gdev_]

Good Luck with that. Wrong width, bolt pattern and offset, but other than that, they are perfect!

$679 shipped for my staggered setup, 17s up front, 18s in back. Smaller than some people want, but I liked it.

shelbygoat, is it possible to not get 17's and 18's but get like 18x8.5 and 18x9.5? I like the look of your set-up, just not as much as having the 4 18's. whats the web address you got these at, i searched google and got like 10 different "house of wheels" thanks!!

I sure it would be possible, but the replica's only come certain offsets I think.

C6 Zo6 wheels are 18x9.5 and 19x12 and C5 Z06 is 17x9.5 and 18x10.5 Bolt patterns are also different. They will fit, just not fit safely.

[05gto6speed]

what about the stock C6 wheels not the Z06 ones will they fit?
