There is actually a company in Japan who specializes in modifying and racing Corvettes, and has exclusive rights to the Corvette size/spec TE37s. I forget their name but I came across them while helping my cousin locate a set of Te37s for his C6Z06.

It's a similar situation to the way a different company in japan has an exclusive size of the CE28 RT and TE37 SL that you have to go through them to get.

WEST corvette. vette nerd here.

Good info! though i imagine you could cobble a 5x120 bmw fitment set together to and make it work on a vette. problem would be finding wide enough high offset rears

These look awesome. I have some questions though. Do you have any better pictures showing tire to fender clearance? How much camber are you running? How's the fitment with those spoon calipers as well?

I'm considering a set of ZE40's in 17x9 +40 matte blue but I need to be able to clear the J's racing calipers and 255's under stock fenders. Any of your help will be greatly appreciated!

I can't remember my camber setting since I lost my result sheet
Btw, all 4 fenders had been rolled and pulled.
Luckily, I didn't have any rubbing issue yet even at the autox a couple of weeks ago.
Not sure how big J's caliper is but there's enough clearance between the inner spoke of ze40s and spoon caliper.
Hope this will help you.

I loved the TE's but the Bronze compliments the Grey Black paint so well!
