Default Y2k Thin Spoke VS 01 Z06 FRONT

Are the front wheel sizes the same on Z06 vs non-z06 front wheels? I know the rears are different but I was wondering about the front.

Are they both 17" x 9.5" ?

The C5Zo6 (all years) is wider both front and back by one inch over the base sizes.

Base: 8.5 & 9.5
Zo6: 9.5 & 10.5

Cool. Thank you.

Will the factory z06 tire sizes fit on the non z06 wheels?

The stock Z06 tires will fit on stock C5 size wheels sure. I have seen it. A 265 on an 8.5" wheel is not bad at all, my factory Camaro wheels/tires were 9" wide with 275s on them. 295 on a 9.5" wheel is a tiny bit big too but still in the acceptable range. They are both only .5" off the recommended size range for those tires. They do bulge a bit but it is doable. Depends on how you like the look.

They will fit if you want to use them - should have no issues

Thanks,Matt
