Z06 offset wheels & size tires on your C6...
Has anyone just said the hell with it and slapped on a set of Z06 size wheel/tires with Z06 offsets on their non-widebody C6?
If so, do you have any pics?
The stock quarters and fenders comes with so much tire clearance as is and just wondering how ghetto fabulous it would or would not look...Remember, Z06 offsets.
Thanks!

Don't look good at all.

OEM Z06 wheels differ from the regular C6 wheels and they will stick out and by a fair amount. Here are the sizes and offsets:
C6 non Z06
Front 18 x 8.5, +56 mm offset
Rear 19 x 10, +79 mm offset
C6 Z06
front: 18 inch x 9.5 inch, +40 offset
rear: 19 inch x 12 inch, +59 offset
Here are a few photos I've collected from posts on the forum of OEM Z06 wheels and tires mounted on a non Z06 C6. The tires sticking out that far could crack your fenders if you bottom the suspension.

Those cars look like they need a lift kit and some nice big mudflaps.

This thread is about guys with standard C6 coupes that have put OEM Z06 wheels with as you say "actual Z06 offsets" on their cars isn't it?

I still have the photo on a backup somewhere....it shows a stock body C6 with protruding tires. It's not just about the look...both quarter panels were cracked from hitting the tires. 
You can run Z06 tires on a stock body C6 but you need the 'right' wheels with the proper offsets. CCW is well known for making wheels to do this.
