Z06 Wheels on C6 Coupe?
I am thinking about upgrading to Z06 brakes on my '07 Coupe. Two choices: use spancers and coupe wheels or buy Z06 size wheels.
Will the Z06 size wheels fit on the coupe with Z06 brakes? Any caliper or fender clearance problems?
Should I use the 11 or 12 inch rear wheel?
Surfing the web today I saw the GCA Torque 2 wheel. Where can I purchase them?
Thanks

The only way that you can use Z06 or GS wheels is to at least do a "wide booty" (wider rear fenders).
You can get by with Z06 wheels on the front with narrow tires but the back will stick out past the fenders unless you do a wide "booty" conversion.
Now, you can get Ace Slick wheels that are made specifically for the Corvette and they will fit your car and clear Z06 brakes with no problems. They are 18x9.5 in the front and 19x11 in the rear. You can use your stock tires on them as well.
I know this will work because I did it. Also, they are not very expensive. You can get a set for less than $1000.
Here is what the Slick Wheels look like. They make CHROME and HYPERBLACK(like like silver)
