Wheel offset, back spacing, and lug pattern?
 
Anyone know this information or know where I may be able to find it? I'm trying to locate some smaller wheels, 18's or smaller, to get some drag radials on.

Thanks

Wondering the same thing here. This car with better aerodynamics and about 1,000 lbs lighter should make for a strip rocket. I am thinking 650 to 700 RWHP will get us into the 9's on the right track.

Whacha got planned for her? Sticking with a huffer or is a turbo in the works?

Not sure yet but I'm not buying the first FI to hit the market. Just some drag radials for this fall and then see what materializes over the winter. I'd like to have it done by the spring. Maybe just a Vortech or the TT's if a quality kit is out. No more pd blowers for this guy.

If I find anything out about the wheels ill let you know.

I'm pretty sure the bolt pattern will be the same as all the Corvettes in the past.

Front wheel specs - 18x8.5 or 19x8.5 with 56mm offset
Rear wheel specs - 19x10 or 20x10 with 79mm offset

The did a model change. I'm not going to guess on the bolt pattern. The silverados are completely different and the 2500 HD's changed from 10-11.

18,19,and 20" wheels won't have the same offset.

When talking to an engineer at C5 Fest he told me when they were trying to fit a part from a Corvette onto a Camaro or CTS-V (I don't remember which) they ran into that exact problem.

He asked Corvette why they didn't change the pattern to metric like the rest of GM and was basicly told they were Corvette and have had the same pattern for 60+ years.
