Rears are 18x9.5 with a 275-40x18.

Stock Z06 sizes introduced in 2001 are 265-40x17 on a 9.5" wide wheel and 295-35x18 on a 10.5" wide wheel. The OEM Z06 sizes will perfectly fit on the correct width wheel on any C5, without any rubbing issues or traction control problems.

Hi Randy;

As usual your your right on top of things.Are the temps down into two digits out there?
Have a great day!

The rim is part of a wheel...the outermost lip on the outside and the inside

Yeah - but the current vernacular uses rims and wheels interchangeably.

Rims are wheels to people who spell brakes, "breaks."

Rim= the outer edge, border, margin, or brink of something, esp. of a circular object.

Wheel= a circular frame or disk arranged to revolve on an axis, as on or in vehicles or machinery.
