The only rub issue was a very small part of the right rear liner that was trimmed down. I wanted a 12 on the rear but I couldn't get a figment guarantee from HRE so I went as wide as was suggested even though I knew a 12 would work,there's a few ZR-1s with a 13 on the rear. I don't have any build,repair threads other than the starter relay mod at the top of the page.

I had to trim a little off the inner fender liner on both rears for my 12's to fit. My rears are 345/30/19's. Only a small trim on the left rear and a little more on the right, but still not much. Lots more options for tires with the bigger rims. Makes these ole Vettes look much better too!

That's true. I didn't want a 19 inch rear wheel but not too many tire options for 18 inch wheels. I do wish I would have gone with a slightly taller tire on the18 inch front wheel. I might do that at some point. While cleaning up the car a few weeks ago I did find one area where the tire skimmed the wheel well liner.

Thanks! I would have to look back at my paperwork to get the offsets. These are the Profil 5's that Fikse makes. They remove a little more mass than on the FM5's so they are lighter. I'm running 18's on the front with a 285/35 PSS. I felt going 19's up front would force me to run a tire with too small a sidewall. Not a fan of the "rubber band" look. The specs for my set up are 18x10 up front with 285/35's and 19x12 out back with 345/30's.

Jeff,
No problem whoring such a lovely car.
Though I do feel it deserves a slightly better camera.
When one has the 18s and 19s next to the other, it becomes quite visible how the extra inch affect the spoke design. The rears look a bit sleeker than the fronts with the added spoke length.

Jim I do like that 285 on the front. If it wasn't such a hassle I'd look into a set for my car. The wheel on my car is exactly as stock with the exception of the 1/2 inch added to the inside barrel of the wheel. FIKSE was one of my choices but they build them the way I wanted so I was met with the HREs. Don't want to come off like a picture ***** but I do have a lot of pictures of the car. Mike Gill has got 19s on his 94 and it looks HOT. As stated I didn't want to go with 19s on the rear but there are very few sizes for a 18-11.5 wheel. A 335 I think is available but didn't want that big.

I ran across a group of cars heading to a US car show last weekend, so I tagged along. The show was just north of Munich. I need to spend some time and clean the engine!
