The 2012 Chevrolet Corvette base enters the final stretch of the C6 generation. Fitment on the 2012 is identical to the 2008-2013 run: 5x120.65mm, 70.3mm hub bore. Stock: 18x8.5-inch front ET+56, 19x10-inch rear ET+79, 245/45ZR18 and 285/35ZR19 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar G:2. The 2012 model sees increased Z06 wheel-sharing on base builds since the Z06 was in its final years — the Z06 19x10 front and 20x12 rear fitment is achievable on a base C6 with negative camber and arch rolling. Base C6 front arch with no modification: 275/35ZR18 is the widest front tire that fits without rubbing at full steering lock on factory alignment. At -1.5 degrees camber, 275/35ZR18 with ET+48 clears cleanly. Rear maximum without modification: 295/35ZR19, confirmed with Z06-spec offset wheels at ET+76. Aftermarket forged mono-block wheels are the preferred fitment solution on C6 because the spoke depth needed to achieve ET+75 to +80 rear offsets rules out many cast two-piece designs. C6 Brembo six-piston front clearance: 94mm minimum. 18-inch minimum wheel diameter is effectively required given caliper depth. C6 bolt pattern 5x120.65mm is incompatible with Camaro wheels without adapters — a common mistaken fitment attempt in forums.
