'07-'09 ZO6 wheels and tires fit?

Question is: Can I put a set of '07-'09 Corvette ZO6 wheels and tires on my
2SS? Will they direct fit or are they too wide in the rear?

The ZO6 sizes are as follows: Fronts- 18X9.5" with 275/35ZR18 tires............Rears- 19X12" with 325/30ZR19 tires

I can buy chrome OEM ZO6 rims cheap from someone I know and a set of 4 tires only runs about $750 from tire rack.

Please, no speculators. Only answer if you know for sure or have tried this combination.

i doubt youll find someone that has actually installed them. but if your really that curious and no one posts that they have, ill be happy to slap my stock set on there and take a pic for you sometime this week, i gotta balance my wheels/tires anyways

but FWIW, judging by the width and offset, they will stick out, if they dont get slammed into something on the back side, the back spacing is crazy on the rear wheel. its over 12" wide with tire with a high high offset. BUT thats speculation, youve got me curious now so lets see. but my moneys on no

bolt pattern for the regular corvette/ gen4 camaro is 120.7 not 120.0 or 4.75 not 4.73 they will fit on but the bore center is also different 70 something not 67.1 like the camaro. Now this may be all different for the ZO6 I don't know. Guess i'm a speculator but something to think about.

Your rears will not fit the car as it is set up now, You will take out the tire as you know this car has a independent rear.

There is 100 mm spacing from the rotor mounting point to the inside of the lip and 235 mm spacing from the rotor mounting point to the rear inner fender, that is a total of 335 so that is 13"+ but the tire and rim need room to move and that is to close. ( don't forget that a 12" rim is at least a 12.5 on the out side )


The offset is close and with a small spacer of 6mm it will work as this is what i am doing now with some 3pc wheels, The best offset for the car are as follow,

20X10.5 W/ 2.5” OUTER/8” INNER = ET+43mm offset (CURRENTLY YOUR FRONT SETUP)

20X11.5 W/ 2.5” OUTER/9” INNER = ET+56mm offset

20X12 W/ 2.5" OUTER/9.5” INNER = ET+62mm offset


You my friend need to do a min tub to fit it on the car if you want to run a 12" rim on a gen5 camaro.

yeah the C6 Z06 runs 18x9.5 frnt 19x12 rear.

btw just because the car is "independent" rear doesnt mean anything.... last time i looked the vette didnt have a rigid axle

Did you look at the hotchkis video of the movement of the rear tire, You need more room to the inner fender.
