Default C6 with Widebody what 20" rim size and tire..

are you using?

When you add fenders - does the width just go out.
I have HRE 20x10.5 and want to put 345/25/20.
Can I just get a new front lip half and be good.
or need both? Does it make it 2" wider +or- ?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Scott

Default Widebody wheels

I installed the Z06 rear fenders only and ordered a set of iForged wheels in 19x9.5" front and 20x13" rears. I was recommended to run 265/30x19" front tires and 345/25x20" rear tires. Depending on the offsets of your current wheels, I believe that that you could have the wheel builder rebuild the rears with a wider outter rim half. 20x13" should be no problem. Stock Z06 rear wheels are 19x12" so increasing it an inch to 13" wide is no problem for the wider fenders. Best to contact your wheel manufacturer.

Hey Scott,
If you have C6 brakes and do not plan on upgrading you should be able to add 1" outside and 1" inside depending on the fitment. Best bet would be to head over to a Wheel shop for them to measure the offset to be able to determine what you can do. You can run from 12" to 13" rear without any problems.

Hope this helps
Tony

You'll need at least a 12" rim for that size tire,,my rims are 13" with the 345/25/20's

Default My current wheels are

HRE 890
20 x 8.5 ET 67 Rims: Inner = 8.5" & Outer = 2"
They are made for Z06 Brakes currently.
My question is :
Is the width needed just on the outer?
Go to a 4" or 4.5" Outer?

Thank for the Info
