Corvette Z06 Wheels on a C1500 454SS
#1
To install the fifth generation (C5) Z06 wheels on your Chevy C1500 you simply need some spacer adapters to counter the wheel's offset and get from the factory truck 5 x 5" to 5 x 4 3/4" bolt pattern.
Here's the spec. I wrote for mine and provided to parts supplier.
Installing 2001 Corvette Z06 Wheels on a 1991 Chevy C1500 SS454:
• Spacer Depth = 1 1/4" (31.75)
• Vehicle Hub Flange = M14-1.5 x 5 x 5 (127)
• Wheel = M12-1.5 x 5 x 4 3/4 (120.7)
• Lug = Truck has a M14-1.5 lug size and the wheels have a M12-1.5 lug size
I actually found mine on eBay for around $125 for the set of four.
Note, however, that if you slam your truck as low as I did then the front end takes some lower A-Arm work to clear the inside lip on the wheel. You’ll either have to go with a narrower wheel, different offset (can be counted somewhat with the adapter thickness) or modifications to the lower A-Arm (trimming or replacing with tubular.

1) All C5 Z06 wheels were the sizes mentioned above.
2) Chrome was not a factory option on the Z06 wheels. Any chrome plating of factory wheels was done at great cost after delivery.
You had aftermarket wheels.
