18" race wheel options

I currently run a 2018 ZL1 and I have decided to run slicks at the track. There are significantly more 18" take off slick options than 19's but I was wondering what wheel options are out there that will work on my car?

We are about to test our 18" EC-7 wheels on a ZL1 this weekend. Based on initial measurements, they should fit just fine along with the SM-10 design in 18" diameters as well.

For reference, here is our 18" SM-10 over the SS 1LE brakes.

There are a few 18' wheel makers, but few offer sizes large enough to run those meaty scrubs...(315/345 for instance)

Bc Forged gets the nod here

This is what I’m talking about. I would love to have 18’s instead of 20’s. The 20’s look great but those 18’s look great too. Plus it couldn’t hurt in overall performance.

So has anyone measured the I/d of a wheelto see what’s the smallest we can out on our cars? I know not all 18” rims will fit the same and any wheel website I go to says they can only fit 20’s

Good news, 18" EC-7s do fit!







The wheel pictured is a 18x9.5" ET22 for reference.
