I bought these wheels from a c6 owner who wrecked his car. They are 20X13" Asanti. Everyone who is old school likes the offset.....

ack...^

Get rid of that horrid 63 split window stick on job, and suck the rears in a tad and the car would be pretty nice. Fitment is everything man...and those rears are a mess. Sticking out in the rear and sunk in in the front...looks bad. Front would be fine if you just pulled the rears in to make them flush. Thing looks like a dually in the back.

You have gone throughout the entire car, paying attention to every detail, so I can't imagine a simple thing like an offset modification keeping your wheels out.

If you bought the rims from a guy with a C6Z, you are running a spacer there still, unless they are SERIOUSLY offset and that was one wide *** C6.

This is all very interesting.

What are you saying? No there are no spacers. I am a corvette enthusiast, which means my Vette has its own identity. I show my car every weekend. I win a plaque or a trophy every weekend. Offset or No-set, I put up the post for people to see what different Vettes are out there. I have enclosed a photo of my friends car that sold me the rims. (for you) He has new ones now. $6000.00 rims for $1800.00. I could not let that go, even if it is a "Weird" look!

I'm pretty sure, no runflats here? I am tring to make the right decision, I know I can get a runflat in 345X18, but will that fill the well enough. I think it sould work, just won't be as low profile as yours.

Run flats are garbage! Dont do that to yourself, lol. Few choices out there for a 345/ 18. I'm limited to like 3 in the 345/20 combo.

Good, thats what I'm looking for, no spacers, and looks perfect.
