9.5 in a 40mm offset will bolt right up zoned clear the Brembos. I think there is a few sets currently floating around.

Pretty sure that's a no go. There's a reason everyone goes with the 9.5. If he's your friend he should let you test fit them and see.

I've seen them on 10.5's also.. E-brake line will need to be tied back though.

I am running a set of Z06 Motorsport wheels 18X105 with Nitto NT305R Drag Radials. I am using a 7mm spacer to clear the rear Brembos.







Using my stock 19's up front.

Did you get those from Wheel Replicas. I tried the same ones on my car but didn't want to go w/ spacers.

Yes. 'V6owner" helped me out with the selection. The spacer is only 7mm and there is plenty of meat left on the studs. Can't beat the price, since its only for the track.

Cool... that was their last set and I took them home and test fitted. I didn't have a big enough spacer and ended up paying a re-stock fee to return them. The spacers do work well with these... I just can't get it through those guys heads to get the right offsets.

Yeah, like the 18x10.5's (+53) that they used to carry?

Are our ZL1 brakes bigger than the Brembos? Or is there a different reason why they do not fit ?

Exactly... they still carry them but they sell out quick.

Same brake size (4 piston) and they fit. The verson I tried were the Vette offsets and I didn't have a big enough spacer or didn't really want to use a spacer.
