Default Will 07 Z06 RIMS FIT A 1998 C5?

Does anybody know if the 07 Z06 RIMS FIT A 1998 C5?

The c5 has 18" back and 17" front
The z06 has 19" back and 18" front.




Thanks

Probably not with the proper size tires on them (i.e., the same size tires as on the C6). Its the width that I doubt fits at the rear: you'd have to install a tubbing kit like the one Lingenfelter has, then wheels that wide, and the 335 section tires to go with them, would fit, and I think the Z06 rims would, too. But I'd try one (without the tire) on it before buying to see if the offset was good.

Without the mods that Lee mentioned the actual Z06 wills probably won't fit, but they make C6 Z06 replicas specifically for the C5.

Yes they will. I own a 1998 C5 and I have the C6 Z06 wheels on my car and they fit perfect. You need the right offset and tire size. I have BFGoodrich KDW2's, 295/35/19 rear and 275/35/18 front. I put a picture of my car in this post (hopefully it worked).
