Yep!

We already did a test fit, then they decided to make a few changed to backspacing to accomodate my requests...

Going to be running 315 Fronts and 335/345 rear hoosiers. I have a couple pics of the test fit I'll post

The rim with tire is a 345/30/18 Hoosier A7. Bare rim is front clearance on brake caliper. We decided to suck the rim in about 1/2" front and rear for clearance. Going to be 18x11 front, 18x12 rear. We could of went 12.5 rear, but wanted to allow some room for suspension travel

Your going to love those wheels make sure you post them up when you get them.

What’s your thought on the +6 offset? Trying to tuck them in a bit more?

Track aesthetics remove material in the dish area of the wheel. Saves some weight and looks good, The picture of the wheels on the Corvette, has this applied. If you look at a stock picture of the RZ05's there is more material where the lugs reside.

I didn't want to run spacers on the ZL1. The stock offset for the ZLE is +11ET and most run a 5mm spacer to provide ample clearance on the MRC suspension. I really didn't want to clearance the strut, so I opted for the builtin offset. This will actually poke the wheel a bit more, however I run -2.7 degrees camber, therefore poke is not as noticeable.

Great group of guys!

Edit- I ordered RZ05's for my track wheels...

I'm planning to order 18" RZ05s for track use as well, but I'm concerned about fitment. Another forum member with a ZL1 1LE mentioned that his RZ05s had a very tight clearance with the DSSVs.

Did you get any detailed assurance that your 18" RZ05s will fully clear the DSSVs and Brembos without spacers?

Edit--sorry didn't see your test fit post on the second page, I'll follow up with BC. Thanks for posting details and pics! With 315 front and 345 rear Hoosiers you'll have ridiculous grip.

Oh they will fit, or they will keep remaking them until they do ! LOL

I work about 3 miles from the office in Florida. Dan and the team there have committed to making sure we have a viable track option!

I'm considering 18x11 on all four corners so i can 1) use a few sets of existing R comps in my garage and 2) be able to rotate front to back on track.

#2 requires me to use spacers, or I could get different F/R offset to avoid spacer and lose the full rotate capability.

Another option is a second set of rears only in 12". The track I frequent most often is Auto Club Speedway ROVAL in Fontana, and the high speed (~140-150 mph) banked oval turn 1-2 can burn through right side tires fast, so I always bring 2 sets.

Ah ok those are my wheels that I posted on my C7 that I’m trading for the ZL1LE

Thanks! 305/660/18 front and 325/660/18 rear Pirelli DH Compound Slicks (scrubs).

They work spectacularly.

Those the wheels that were on their ready to buy (SHOP) list on the website?

Looks like the front struts were in STREET camber during the shoot?

Looked at those multiple times, but, leaning towards 18" since I have multiple sets of 19". Car looks good on them!

For the test fit with Hoosier and the 18”, bare rim in front. I was on street alignment. The photo shoot with the stock sizes, I’m at track alignment. -2.7 front,-2.1 rear
