Aside from how bad it looks there is a very real possibility of damaging your rear quarters in the event of bottoming out the suspension in the rear.

These pics from this thread look horrible. If you are happy, good for you. This looks hideous and if that suspension bottoms it will destroy those rear quarters.

Oh. No, we were talking about putting actual Z06 offset wheels on a non-Z06 model.

Reproductions are fine and look great. Factory Z06 wheels look like crap just because of the offset.

So what you have are Z06 reproduction wheels ......makes sense.

The OP was referring to Z06 OEM rims.

If the two pic.'s in this thread of the Black Vette are the pic.'s of the same Black Vette shown with the whole side body, That car looks totally awesome!. If it dosen't bottom out, screw what everyone else is saying and go for it!!!

Might as well use whitewall tires and add some curb feelers.
