Dont forget to check out CCW. American made, top quality forged wheels. They have about the best reputation in the business. Best offsets to mount Z06 size tires. Heres mine. 505's mounted with 325/275 Z06 tires with stock bodywork and no rubbing anywhere.

I'll check them out before I finalize my order.

Thanks!

Any addional info on clear coat durability?

Thanks in advance

SuaveZ51

for $10K + purchase I'd rather help our economy.


I like the LM20 model!!! That's the look I'm going for.

But there only spec up to 18"...


I wanted to 19" up front and 20" in the rear!

I'm going to call CCW to see what they can do.

Any other brand suggestions out there in this style? Or clear coat experiences?

Thanks in advance.

Try 360 Forged, they have 3 piece wheels in 19 front and 20 rear in various styles. I have wide body on my 07' c6, but you can get in standard c6 fitment in 19''F/20''R check my avatar.

Hey guys, I don't mean to shoplift the thread, but some of the info here is of great use to me. I have a C6 Vert, currently in the process of a Rear Wide Body Conversion.

I'm purchasing a set of repro wheels and the vendor is able to give me respective offsets for the front (C6 Base) and rear (Z06 Conversion). The vendor is giving me 18x9.5 for the front and assures me they will not stick out due to proper offset. What size tire is the proper tire for the 1" wider wheel?

My rears will be 19x12 and will be running the stock Z06 size of 325/30/19.

Thanks for any and all help guys, I really appreciate it!!!

SuaveZ51

Well I did it and man does it look sweet!!!

Front 19x10 on 265/19/30

Rear 20x12 on 325/20/25

Wheels HRE 790R's brushed inner and polished lip.

I'll post some pictures for those of you interested later.


Thanks again for all the suggestions and advice.

I bought HRE Wheels - 18x8.5” front with a +46 offset and a 19x10” rear with a +60 offset. The rubber sticks outside of the fendes on both sides and rubs. I am hoping some Z06 Springs I have on the way will solve the problem. HRE told me as long as they didn't stick outside the fenders more than an inch, there wasn't a problem. I will likely never buy another HRE product. Do the homework first. There are a lot of wheel problems out there.

SuaveZ51

Wow 1 inch on each side. That sucks man! That’s a lot. What HRE wheel style did you go with ()? Sounds like HRE did not give you any guarantees? Fitment confirmation/ suggestions...

I did my homework. I'll post some pictures... My tires do not stick out at all front or rear (that’s from the center point of the wheel). View when you look down the center line of the wheel (top down view).

As seen on stock wheels, due to the body shape of the vehicle (front and rear) all four wheels will stick out towards each end of the tire (especially toward the bottom of the tires).

I spoke to a few sales and tech guys at several shops as well as at HRE. They provided suggested dimensions and they all did say that If I were to go outside the perimeter they were suggesting they were not accountable for the outcome.

I would demand HRE to give you your money back or at least a full credit for another set of wheel dimensions. Especially for the price!!!

Mine don't stick out that far. Unfortunately, I bought them used so I had no recourse. They are for a C6 though as I got the serail number off of them and verified that when talking to HRE. They offered to put in a half inch bigger inner rim, and machine a couple of mm off of the center, combined with going down a size in tires was their solution. They wanted like $1500 plus shipping both ways and I only paid $2500 for the rims, so I am either going to make them work or change to something else. I think they are HRE547's. The guy told me that this is how they build all of their wheels and the guy who originally bought them wanted them this way. I don't believe any street C6 Corvette owner wants their rubber to stick outside of the bodywork. Total BS in my opinion. Look around, you will see a bunch of used HRE's for sale and I think this is why.

SuaveZ51

547R's are nice wheels! This pic is from an older Vett. Clean wheels!



Lets see some pics of yours.




Too bad they were not ordered to fit...

HRE and most other exclusive wheel Mfg will custom make pretty much what ever configuration you want. But most good/ reputable wheel Mfg will suggest what will work and what will not to accomplish what you are looking for. Once you cross that line they will make you sign a waver to cover themselves. If the HRE sales rep told you that that’s how they make all there wheels, he's full and should not be working for a custom wheel Mfg.!

It sounds like the original owner did not know what he/ she was doing...

Your right you have to do your home work! That’s the price we pay.

Any other guys out there have Pictures of aftermarket wheels on there rides !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe, but the HRE guy told me they still sell the same offset. I have a friend with the same offset in a pair of reproduction wheels. They stick out the exact same way as mine. He has never heard his rub, but he does have a Z51 package.

After having them for over a year, I think I have finally found the reason for this offset and that would be to allow larger brakes, but I still think this offset is too much.

I do agree that they are good looking wheels or I would have ditched them a long time ago. If the Z06 springs do not fix the problem they will get ditched.

DUMAN

the Z06 spring will not change where the wheels sit. I have a 07 Z51 I have change to Z06 springs and Koni shocks. the wheels still sit in the same location. the ride and handling have improved 150%

Man I love the front lip!! Where did you get it?

widgetsupply

If it firms up the suspension, maybe they will not rub. At this point, I think it is the "soft" front springs that cause the problem, but...

I talked with a guy who had an F55 suspension who said his did not rub with Z06 rear wheels installed, of course he always ran on the sport mode.

Does anyone have any ADV1. wheels on a stock c6 and not a zo6?

360jeepboy

I love these wheels! These are the only ones I like as much as the ADV1. 7.1 wheels.
