You want / need 17 X 11. 36mm offset

OEM wheels are much lighter and rigid than knockpff's

Good luck

Now I really dont know what I need. Someone else said to use 54 or 56 offset to fit c6 zo6 brakes. I wonder what factory is?

If its for a ZR-1 or a pre 88 C4, you need 36mm. If it's for a later, non ZR-1, you need the 50 mm for wheelwell position. If its for a C5, I think either should work.

Looking quickly at everything that's available 36mm ZR-1 and 50mm GS I'd suggest you get a "plan together" - what exactly do you have for a car and what is presently @ the rears?

I'd think the plan would need to be "first" establish the tire "required" and then do the math (or get someone to do it) to get a wheel to do the fit that "most closely" duplicate the OE or present "fitment" on the car. I can see many other options if it's a fresh start. How tall a tire is desired? Do you already have tires?

If you can post the rears you run presently it would make it certainly an easier choice/decision.

You mention C6 Z06 brakes but I'm guessing NOT a Z06 car.

How does that go again? Cart before the horse?

Here is the plan. Like I posted above. I need c4 ZR1 17x11 wheels to fit a C6 with ZO6 big brakes. I dont believe it matters if its a ZO6 or not. Its to fit the brakes. I have MT ET STREETS 275X40X17. Not sure of the offset I need. So if you know the offset or have a pair I could have Please by all means let me know. Thanks...

There are many C6 Z06 owners using OEM ZR-1 wheels (17 X 11. 36mm) and they fit over the rear brakes

You may want to post in the c6 Z06 section, but I know quite a few that run with these and they work

And presently on your car you have what for rear wheels? Width and offset? I'm only attempting to give you a choice that will fit as closely as possible in comparison as to how the vehicle sits presently. I have a 50mm option and I do have a 36mm option both.

Your 275/40 doesn't sound like it would do well on an 11" of any offset but I do see where it's the MAX acceptable width if you check summit. I'd think a 9.5 or 10 might be a better fit. I truly don't know, I'm a guy who likes tread on his tires!

Do you have 10" or 11' on the rear now and maybe +79mm offset?

I sent you a PM explaining a situation with the 11" - 36mm wheels that were part of a set and when I mentioned to what had been a "buyer" that I was offering them to someone else he suddenly found the funds for the set. I will advise if it changes. Assume for the next few days you still need wheels.
