      @@jantzen212003 We don't see an option being offered by Paragon in the future of wheel spacers for the Carbon Fiber wheels. The proper way to run spacers on a Carbon Fiber wheel would be to have a hub centric spacer of the thickness desired. Then remove the rear wheel hubs & install longer lug studs that are XX mm amount longer (wheel spacer thickness) to assure the proper thread engagement.

    Damn. Guess I’m not changing the offset with my carbon fiber wheels. Thanks for the visual explanation why.

    I love the idea of the CF wheels, but the reality is they are still a PITA to service so I chose the same gray/silver wheel shown here. Zero regrets.

    Do you see sometime in the near future of having a spacer that will fit the Carbon Fiber Rim?

    IMPORTANT QUESTION: can u track the car with wheel spacers ?? I mean we all know that wheel spacers mess with the OEM suspension geometry … I’d be worried something would break with high G cornering on misaligned geometry!!

    is the fitment bad with the stock CF wheels to where you need spacers? if so that's sad u pay 20K and they not even flush ahhhh

    • @koreypayne9610

      The Carbon fiber wheels have the same offset as the other OEM Z06 wheels.

    I was waiting for paragon to do something about this:/ then we find out us cf spec guys just aren’t gonna get that flush fitment in the back. Looks awful especially when you lower the car and the front wheels sit perfect with the fender then the back wheels just look… smh

    • @ParagonPerformance

      Even though the offset isn't perfect you can't go wrong with the Carbon Fiber wheels from GM.

    Why in the 🔥would you want to run spacers on a c8 z06. 🤯

    • @koreypayne9610
      @koreypayne9610 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Plenty of people around the world run spacers on all makes / models of cars to have a more agressive offset/ flush look compared to factory.

    • @ParagonPerformance
      @ParagonPerformance  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Because the OEM wheel offset is wrong and doesn't look good.

    Chevrolet is a special kind of stupid. They made the C7 ZO6 where the wheels and tires fit flush but they screwed up The Stance of the new C8 Z06 by tucking the wheels inside the fender and they don't sit flush
