Default Factory Wheel Size Question

Are the wheels on an 07 with Z51 an inch wider than the base wheels? What are the front and rear width size I need to look for? Thanks.

no the z51 wheels are the same size as all the other non-z06 c6s.

18 x 8.5 F / 19 x 10 R

If you are buying wheels, make sure you understand what you are getting in regards to offset. The ones I bought are 18x8.5” front with a +46 offset and a 19x10” rear with a +60 offset. The stock rubber extends beyond the wheel wells on both sides, a little more on the passenger side than the driver. I had a huge rubbing problem that I hope was fixed with z51 sway bars and Bilstein Sports. A friend in our club has wheels of the same offset, but with z51, and has never had rubbing problems.

It is a pretty good look overall, but you should understand the issues if you decide to buy a non-stock offset wheel.
