Anybody running wheels on a base c6 corvette that stick past the fenders very slightly or atleast flush with the fenders? OEM wheels sit sunken and I'm not particularly fond of that look.

The only options I've seen for wheel options are the regular oem offsets (sunken) or z06 offsets which stick out considerably past the fenders.

I think the stock base c6 wheel dimensions are 18x8.5 +56mm and 19x10 +79mm.

Is anyone running these wheel sizes with a slightly more aggressive offset so it sits flush or slightly out or know of any wheels that will give me this look? Not planning on lowering the car from stock height either.

Thanks!

Ace alloy wheels. There are 2 models and the rears are 11 inch and 73 offset. I run the R1 model and they are very close to flush. On my 305 tires you could say they stick out a little but its not actually the rim or tread, its just the widest part of the sidewall. Get only compliments on the look.

Good question and helpful answer.
Does the side of the car get dirtier than normal?

Not at all. I do have OEM splash guards installed which may help and I find enhance the look.

Easy fix and looks fine. Looks like they may be necessary.

After some snooping, seems like TSW makes offsets that are more aggressive and seem to sit flush given their offsets and sizes:

18X9 and 19X10.5 with offsets: 50 and 65 respectively.

Thinking of pulling the trigger on these

Those are nice wheels. They will stick out 2mm (which is nothing really) more than the R1's. I looked at those but decided I wanted 11 inch.

Just a heads up if you are still looking. Nice deal here for wheels and tires...
