Aftermarket Wheel Fitment

[cnofar]

They have the 19x10's in a +45 offset, would that fit better in the rear? How much poke over stock would that make it?

I believe the +45mm offset would poke 5mm less curb side.

Try this website to visualize it easier. I don't think anyone on the forums has had aftermarket wheels for long enough to know all the combinations that will/will not work; we're all new to this!

Thanks for the link... Very useful tool. This setup would be perfect, now only if I knew it would clear these damn big brakes!!!

Has anyone reached out to aerolarri wheels to see if they would make wheels for the 4 or 5? I don’t know if the demand would offset the engineering costs, but @WONT TAP at least provided dimensions on the 4BW wheels.

I pinged the owner of Aerolarri and he said he'd definitely make wheels for the 4BW and 5BW, however, he needed to measure someone's car. Since I'm still saving up for a second wheel set, I haven't reached out to him again.

I talked to Aerolarri and he said all of his wheels were now available for the 4BW. I did not ask about the 5BW. He's doing a Black Friday deal to save a little cash.

Pulled the trigger on Aerolarri for my 4BW. Going with stock size. They're made to order so now have a two month wait till they're on the car.

what style did you go with?

Went with Mantis with machined face and black behind the face. Here it is on a C8. My BW is rift metallic so basically off white. Not many pics of Blackwings with any aftermarket wheels.

Nice! What are they charging out of curiosity? The wheels from tire rack were $500 each.

 

[Dcrets]

These were about 800 each. That was all in including a high dollar finish option. The tire rack ones just didn't do it for me. I'm coming from a C8 so was familiar with the Aerolarri designs.

Signature wheels 20inch. Running 305/30 in the rear and 285/30 in the front. Terrance did all the custom offsets. The fit is simply remarkable.

I’ll be paying interest for a couple months

Does anyone know if stock C7 Z06 rear wheels will fit? Wanted to put some drag radials on before I run down the strip. I know I can get those wheels for pennies on the dollar.

 

[MatthewAMEL]

IIRC, the center bore on C7 wheels is larger than Alpha cars. 70mm vs 67

Isn't there nearly a lawsuit out for C7Z wheels? I hear they're prone to cracking.

 

[poor-sha]

Bolt spacing and lug size is different on the C7. The stock wheels are known to crack at the inner lip - particularly the rears. It’s a combination of width and the hard inner sidewall of the run flat tires. When they crack you get a slow leak so it’s not like they explode.

They should fit. I’m trying to see if any of my vette friends got any stock c6 or 7 z06 wheels to test fit the rear. Inside clearance to the strut is pretty large (atleast 30mm), will be 21mm closer on the inside and minimal change on the poke.

 

[Danny824]

I have a nice set of FF05's with all seasons and TPMS for sale that fit like OEM Blackwing's - see classifieds.

Has anyone tried fitting an 18 inch wheel on the back of their 5 yet ? I had 17 inch Weld S71's with MT drag radials for my V3 but they wouldn't clear the calipers. I'd rather run an 18 as opposed to a 19 for a little more sidewall at the track...

From what I've seen, 18s are hit or miss. Some wheels inner barrel touch the e-brake caliper, some cleared on 18s.

Be aware that 5BW uses 14mm wheel studs, my buddy's C7 GS only has 12mm studs
