Welcome to the forum clean68sbc. There are a lot of guys running wheels that big and bigger here. Not many (if any) running that kind of backspace. Is there a reason you want to run the Z06 wheels? It would be much easier to have a set of billet wheels built to the specs you want.

The wheels are a hell of a deal with brand new zrated run flat tires. that wasthe only reason really besides looking badass

I'm gonna move this to the truck board for you, but I have a friend that did just that to his using spacers. I can't remember his board name, but I'll try to direct him here.

Hey clean68sbc HuggerCST told me about your post. I put vette rims on my truck. I don't know what year vette they came off of though. I was in the same boat as you they were just to good of a deal to pass up. They have since grown on me and I really like the look of them. I ended up using a 2" spacer for the front and the back. The back rims are tucked a little and could use at least another 1/2" to 1". At the time all I could find was a 2" spacer
Do you have a fleet side bed? I don't know if a fleet side bed will give you a little more room to play with or not.
The only other issue is the lug pattern. My vette rims were 5 on 4.75" so you will need a spacer the changes the lug pattern from 5 on 5"(truck) to 5 on 4.75"(rim). That is about all I can think of right now If you have any other questions just let me know! Welcome to the forum!
