- This thing looks so much better! Those C7 wheels really updated the look of this car. This whole process took about 30 minutes from start to finish. All you need is a jack, jack stands, torque wrench and a 10mm. Please Subscribe!

The rims really made a difference in the overall look of the car. A1. Topnotch. 👍🏾💯
Sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
@Leo Eden instablaster :)
@Watson Asa i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Watson Asa it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass!
@Leo Eden glad I could help =)
I like the original wheels much better. Different strokes for different folks, of course. Great info on lowering it.
The new wheels look fantastic. Gives the car more aggressive look!! great move!
Spectacular look!! And your instruction is terrific. Thank you.
Beautiful Z06. Love that Blade Silver color. Don't understand why anyone would even consider lowering anything on the C6 Corvette. My 2012 Grand Sport front spoiler bumper was only 3" above ground. Way to low. Drags ground overs slight dips. Forget about driving over speed bump or else you will drag bottom. Rims look awesome!
the rims look amazing on this car
looks good! doing same wheels on my black c6 widebody, and now (thanks to you) ill be lowering it too!
I prefer the “cup” wheels that came on the later run C6 Z06’s
I agree, even the C6Z06 wheels he took off look better than the C7Z06 wheels
@@jayceasar2661 old post but okay.
Rims make a huge difference. Love it.
Can hardly wait to see next video on the improvements to this vet. Top Dog!!
The original intended use for the easily adjustable suspension height is to get correct bumper height/ride height to the factory spec when assembled
I can’t believe that the c6 came out in 2005. A very timeless design.
C6Z looks GREAT! Looking forward to next mod. When you are ready for your next project, let me know I would be interested in this car
Thank you! I will be posting some updates soon. No plans of selling it now, but you never know.
Nice, clear & straightforward vid bro..
Spacers will create a nasty stance. Love it.
This is why I’m changing my zo6 wheels on my C7. I was at a car show last week I saw C5 C6 and Chev Impala with those wheels . I’m not mad just want to be different….and I like the one that on it before
Luv it Excellent Video Taylor , & explanation , very detailed , & easy to follow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lowering a C6 Z06, for when you just aren't scraping on enough drive ways stock 🤣
Man!! I lowered my c6z and my first c6 base and both have broken the radiator support bracket 3 times
I have a 2012 GS and I was also thinking about putting C7 Z06 wheels and tires on mine. Do you have any rubbing problems?
Make sure you get an updated alignment. The Phadt street alignment is really good. Better handling and better on tires. Also on their website has a track alignment, but track alignment is not good for street.
I was just wondering if it rode straight right afterwards or if he needed to get an alignment.
@@troypatillo1688 Should drive fairly straight, but will need alignment to check TOE, Caster/Camber as these settings will be affected anytime you lower/raise a vehicle
I could use my Shock socket and put some air on that. This is simple . This is exactly how I wanted to do a c6 same wheels , different color. Grand sport
Try putting some spacers! It’ll make a huge difference
I have a 2011 silver Grand Sport , and I am going to do what you have done to yours.
Dont forget to have a 4 wheel alignment done after you lower or raise your Vett .
Yes you will show metal on the very inside of the tires if you don’t fairly quick
I had to turn my volume down when the new wheels first came on screen lol. Good vid tho, super simple and helpful.
I'm getting same wheels for my c5..chrome. .what size of tires you running?
Taylor the Zo6 looks amazing, I just purchase a 2008 silver Zo6 and would like to get the same rims, could you post he exact size of tires and bolt pattern I think its 4.75 mm, also any one out there selling a set I would be interested will pay for shipping also.
Thank you, Kalani
Goddamn first time I see it with those wheels and it looks amazing! Good job bro
Do you have to get alignment after you lowered it ?
Great looking car and the chrome wheels go well with the silver paint.
Neck Bone actually painted rims, I know they look chrome tho. I have chromes on my C7 Z06 and they are fricken nice
@@garybachmeier2425 Great looking car brother.
The wheels needs to be powered coated gloss black 👌
Wow looks epic man!!! I dig the c7 wheels!
I have a silver c6 zo6 and was wanting to go with same wheels and was wandering if you had any fitment problems and are you running same tire sizes that the c7 came with and was wandering if the tire pressure sensors were off a c7 and did they work with c6 platform ?
Beautiful ride. How many miles on her and was was the selling price?
How much lower did your vette get?
Did you need to get an alignment right away after lowering it?
Nice car I like the rims I think the looks good on c6 z06 👍
Has 80% pad remaining: Needs brakes soon.
Love the car
Looking at one now
Tell me about that Porsche in your warehouse
Beautiful car man!!
Wow those wheels look so nice on it
U can fit 345s on there when those go bad. Even looks better. U can actually fit 345s on the stockers aswell. I have 345s on mines
I will definitely plan on doing that! It's incredible how much tire you can fit on these things
Yeah the 345s are even sexier from the back
No visual differents ,with the 345, have also 325 are good
Looks amazing! What are your tire specs? I know your fronts are a 285/30/19 but I was wondering what your rears were as well!
What did the ground clearance settle out to?
The C7 Z wheels look really good compared to the old ones. Good job.
Hello do you wont to sell the rims you took off your vett?
What kind of track car are you planning to build? A strip car or road course?
It looks nice. But your use is going to dictate the wheels that will perform best.
CJ Drives it will be more of a road course oriented car. I have always enjoyed road course driving more. I'm sure it will see the drag strip a few times as well.
Taylor Smith Nice. Use the car for what it was made to do! Alot of the road course drivers go for a 18” wheel all around.
I have 18x12 rears and 18x11’s front. 335 and 315 Toyo’s
18x13 and 18x11 are very popular
335 or 345 rears. and 315 fronts.
Of course, it depends on if you want to stay in a particular rule class though.
The only down side to the c7 wheels that I’ve heard is they crack. You should research it and keep an eye on them.
You happen to weigh the wheels and see the difference ? C7 wheels look real good on the C6Z
So Fresh and So Clean Clean!!
How much did you lower it ? The whole inch ?
Do you have to get an alignment after lowering the Vette?
New Wheels Are Awesome! What are they off of?
andrew paul they are off of a 2015 Corvette Z06
Omg 🤤🔥I searched this only
Very nice 🤘
a bad ass ride man
Good video, very nice car !!
What size are the wheels?
If you haven't already getyaself an Elite Engineering Catch Can👍🏽
Cool cool shit looks good
Great video
I definitely like the C7 Z06 wheels better. For me, lowering the car so that the curvature of the wheels and the curvature of the fenders is off looks terrible. I want the same distance between the tire and the fender to be the same all the way around (top and sides). Yours looks okay, but if you lowered it anymore, I would think it was dog ugly.
What tires do you run on this?
What is the size of the tires and wheels
Can I do that rim swap on my 2007z06
i heard this was dumb to do cuz it adds more spring bounce when you hit bumps
LOOKS GREAT.
Rims look fantastic but you'd be better off putting coilovers on it. You get a lowered car and save weight by getting rid of the struts and leaf springs.
BLACK ZR1 GLOSS RIMS ?
How wide is the tire?
Looks perfect.
Black wheels would have popped even more with the silver. I have black C6 ZR1wheels on my Midnight Race Blue C6 427 vert, and they really make the car.
Damn, she looks good!!
Do interior update like seats steering wheel
Like the factory zo6 wheels better
I like the rims a lot
Are u selling the stock rims?
I am going to hang onto them since they're original to the car
What u do with the old wheels?
I'm going to hang on to them since they're original to the car.
Smart move
That's what you put your drag radials on for track day.
Lowering the car like that does it change the ride quality.
My LeMans Blue car came with a set of black C7 ZO6 wheels. I didn't like black wheels on a blue car, so I replaced them with 2010 chrome ZR1 wheels. Looks way better, 19in front, 20in rears...
Beautiful 😋
The standard Z06 wheels from the earlier years were just for shit. Big improvement.
Don't get side skirts. Total pain in the ass to drive around speed bumps etc. And they're so expensive
Agree, I really don't like mine
Looks good!
Two Vettes, a Master Craft, ...and no car lift????
nice
Morimoto head and tail lights would really set your car off. look um up.
lynn thacks hell no, just buy a c7 if that’s the case
@@isiahgomez6860 So what you are saying is its ok to bolt C7 Z06 wheels on C6 Z06, but its not ok to put C7 style head lights? So by your way of thinking nothing from a C7 should be put on a C6? So if he likes the look of those wheels on his car, then he should've just bought a C7? Please help me understand....
lynn thacks we talking about headlights dude... those headlights were made for the c7 sharp front end look while the c6 is a wide front end look. I wouldn’t put any c7 parts on a c6 because it looks weird period. Wheels are ugly on that car too
@@isiahgomez6860 Morimoto headlights were designed for the C6 and they look better than the factory headlights in my opinion as due the wheels that he just put on that car. Its called customizing. Chip Foose has been doing it for decades. If you like your cars bone stock that's you, but you cant tell someone else what to do with their car. Aftermarket parts are available for a reason.
lynn thacks better than factory? No, it looks cheesy. And screams I’m a middle age ricer. Just buy a c7 if you like c7 parts so much lol.
😎👍🏾🔥💯
I wont the lightest wheels on my car, as long as they are the same size and width.
I love the ZR1 wheels much better!
Sell me the old factory wheels. $1000
C6 wheels are better looking
buys car without test driving...first drive in car does second gear power ons, in the rain....not yet insured!!
jacks up the car one corner at a time...yikes!!!!
lowers car on one side of jack stand edge in middle of composite leaf spring surface...eek.
just destroyed the ride quality, what little it had in his car, by lowering it(stiffening it) and lower profile tires.
discusses tire gap to front wheel arch looking same, not realizing the rim he put on is an inch taller.
I think he raised his car....LOL
I hope he doesn't do the heads and cam upgrade himself....otherwise very nice car,
nearly as nice as my black 07, picked up with 28k miles on it last year. These are just fabulous cars.
In all fairness...the C7 Z06 wheels do look better and more modern than originals even on the C6. Hmmm.
I wouldn't go with the 335 rear 20" tires though; rare - only 2 brands make it, super expensive & not really necessary.
