can you run stock c5 tires on zo6 rims
 
Stock C5 wheels are:
8.5 Front
9.5 rear

Z06 wheels are:
9.5 front
10.5 rear

I would guess you could get them on but I'm not sure if they would look right.
 
Ahh good point Jim. I forgot about the runflats since I haven't had them on my vette for a few years.
 
thank you for your help

It is not recommended to attempt to put that small a tire and that wide a wheel. The compromises are in performanced and, possibly, safety.

Plus, they will look rediculous.
 
What about going the other way?
I'm replacing tires soon and was considering stock C5 tires on the front, and the 295/35R18's on the rear of my stock C5 rims.
I thought they should fit as I have the 315/35R17's on my 89 with stock wheels with no issues.
 
I think those 17's are a 10 or 10.5 inch wheel. The stock rear C5 wheel is 9.5 inches. Anyone know for sure?
