  • Would these look good?

    How do you guys think these would look on an F-bod if they came in a good size? Maybe not necessarily black but chrome?

    Change the center caps and I think they would look awesome, esp. on a black F-body. I have nothing against the Corvette emblem, but it just doesn't look right if its not on a Corvette. I'd say go for 'em.

      Somehow, the quoted offset for the 19x10's (79mm) doesn't look right, even for a Corvette. That gives you an 8.6" backspace, which is about 3/4" too much for a 4th Gen F-body.

      You might want to go to the "Wheel and Tire" forum at camaroz28.com. I know there are posts from one person who has those wheels on a 4th Gen, and maybe a couple more by now.

      I personally think they are way "too busy" with all the little fake bolt heads and other stuff.... but that's just a personal opinion. Your disc brakes are going to look a little skimpy behind a 19" wheel, as well.

        I had my eyes on these but they don't tell you the offset. I like how the Corvette emblem is just recessed slightly and not colored. I am just window shopping at the moment but if i do decide i want em i would convert the front brakes to Z06 calipers and 12.8" rotors.

            The offsets for both the front and rear wheels are listed in the link "ws6drbob" posted.

            Up for auction is a BRAND NEW SET (4 rims) C6R High Gloss Black Painted Rims.

            What you get:

            Two 18'x8.5 front rims, offset is +56mm. Weight per rim is 21 lbs

            Two 19x10 Rear rims, offset is +79mm Weight per rim is 26 lbs.


            This is a 13" rotor in a 17" wheel. You will have 1.1" more clearance with a 19" wheel and the Z06 brakes. With the stock 11" rotors, you will have yet another inch of clearance added compared to the 13's.
