Whether you're looking to daily drive, drag race, hit the road course, or just park up at cars and coffee we've got you covered with perfect wheel and tire fitment on your C6 Vette. Widebody? No problem. Narrowbody? Of course.

So you need some new wheels for your Vette, good news, you’re in the right place. You might have an idea of what you want, but don’t know what specs to order; or maybe you don’t even know where to begin, you just know you wanna ditch the factory wheels. Either way, we got you covered.

In this fitment guide we’re specifically looking at the C6 Corvette, model years ranging from 2005 to 2013. Fitment isn’t too difficult on these cars as the factory fitment is actually pretty decent. Before we start showing you specs, we’ll go over the basic info you’ll need to know regardless of the wheels you choose.

5x120.65 vs 5x120 on your Vette
There’s no way around it, the 5x120.65mm lug pattern is uncommon outside of Chevy vehicles, and no, 5x120 wheels like you’ll find on BMWs won’t work, or at least we can’t recommend it. You’ll see a lot of debate on forums about how you can bolt up 5x120 wheels and just send it. If you do this there’s a good chance you’ll run into vibration issues and or possibly snap a lug stud. The better option is to throw on some wheels with the proper PCD - everything in this guide will be available in this size.
Narrowbody vs widebody vehicles
Only the base model is a ‘narrowbody’. The other models, such as the Z06, ZR1, and Grand Sport are a total of about 4” wider in the front and 5” in the rear. Choosing wheels for the narrow body cars can be particularly difficult, so we divided this guide into a narrowbody and widebody section including examples of both.

Staggered and double-staggered wheels
They’re gonna be staggered one way or another, the question is ‘traditional’ staggered or double-staggered. Normal staggered setups use a wider rear wheel and tire compared to the front. A double-staggered setup uses the same wider rear but also adds an inch to the diameter - so 18x9 front and 19x10 rear, for example.

Every model comes with a staggered setup from the factory, some with a double-staggered setup - if you own a Vette you probably know about this already. Some people like switching from a factory double-staggered setup to a normal staggered one, or vice versa. We’ll look at examples of both so you can decide what you like best.
Wrap up
C6 fitment isn’t that complicated. The factory fitment isn’t terrible, so you can use your stock wheels as a guideline, add ½”-1 to the width, get a slightly lower offset, throw on some wider tires to suit - this strategy works for both widebody and narrowbody cars. The big decision is whether you go staggered or double-staggered; both look good, however, double-staggered is probably the more ‘traditional’ look on this platform.

You won’t find a ton of stanced-out, air suspension builds like you will with the C5… at least not yet… If you’re one of the first movers who built a show-stopper C6, feel free to upload it to our Gallery. In fact, feel free to add any type of C6 to the gallery, OEM+, track build, etc. Help out your fellow C6 owners or get inspiration for your own build.
