Default Cup tires and stock wheels

Probably a dumb question, I have a 2010 with stock chrome wheels and the PS2s. If I where to upgrade to the cup tires, do I need different wheels? I keep seeing cup tires and "cup wheel" packages out there, so it got me to thinking if they were required. Reason I ask is that I like my stock chrome wheels and want to keep them.

Thanks,

Scott

Michelin Cup 345's on the rear will fit fine.

no, the "Cup" wheels use the exact same tire size as the spoke wheels. You'll be fine, those cup tires have a low tread wear, but are suppose to stick like gum.

Yes you can use your wheels. The ZR1 that ran the Ring w/cup tires was using the standard ZR1 wheel (not chrome though).
