I recently had an opportunity to model the new Z06 wheel and tire package on my ZR-1. These are actual OEM Z06 wheels and tires, not aftermarket. The rears (59mm offset) are mounted with a 1/2in spacer for clearance, the fronts have a 40mm offset and stick out passed the fenders a bit. Wheel finish is the factory polish. Here ya go!











This last pic is a quicky photoshop to see how the wheels look with black centers.

hum....not sure what I think about them

I should also add that the car is sitting higher than normal as we didn't roll it around after jacking. If allowed to settle the ride height would likely drop another 1/2 to 1in.

I think the fronts would look much better if tucked into the fender more - they are 16mm outboard from the factory offset. The rears fill up the wheelwells nicely but would probably look better with a .6 or .7 in spacer. We couldn't go any futher out without longer wheel studs.

Looks great but the fronts do stick out a bit

...wonder how many z06's run zr1 wheels

quite a few of the CF members are running ZR-1 rear wheels with drag radials

I kind of like it but it needs some tweaking with the spacers etc.

Locobob,

I know they don't fit right, but thanks for sharing.....they look cool and nice to see something different.

I'd say if the fronts didn't stick out so much.

Bob,
Looks good, looking forward to seeing it in Las Vegas

Wish I could make that happen but this was just a mock up with borrowed wheels to see how they fit and what they look like on the car.
I am working on a plan to make it happen for real.

Did you drive around with them on and they didn't rub when turning?

It's one of those things to me, the more I look at it, the more I like it.

That’s exactly what I was wandering; it looks like the fronts would touch the fenders when turning?

locobob

We didn't move the car at all, the rear wheel studs weren't long enough to get much of a bite on the lug nuts and we didn't want to risk having a failure. I suspect the fronts would present a rub problem - especially on a lowered car like mine.

Looks pretty good, Rob. But, who's the guy in the background with the yellow t-shirt pretending he knows something about Corvettes?
