Car looks great Will. Can't wait to see how it runs and what you do with it at the track.

Pretty hard to measure how much had to be ground off.

What's the offset?

Old thread I know, but it's relating too want I want to confirm before buying.
I have an 09 Z06, 18in Weld Skinnies (same size front radial 185/50'/18's with 17x11 rears. I've been on 315/35/17 Hoosier DR and I'm looking at getting off them and on these (325/45/17 M&H's).
The fronts are something like 26in diameter (the 185/50's) according to M&H's sight and after talking with John. The rears are basically 28's from what I understand with a lot more sidewall (which is something I need at my HP&Tq level)
Main question.....
With the 26in front and 28in rear, are you having, or did you have any ASC/TC service lights come on without making changes with HP tuners?
So if I get em, can I put em on the rim, and can I just ride out and be fine without making any changes with the tire size thing (or whatever) in HP tuners?
I'm on the verge of buying them, like now, but I wanted to check with someone who's running the same rim and tire combo..
I've had other people say everything will be fine, but they didn't have the exact same rim and tire combo as of now, my fronts are the same and the rears will be if you tell me all was good and you didn't have too play with HP tuners or anything... Just put em on and roll out is what I'm asking and if so, what PSI do you run them at 17-18psi, less, more???
I'd really appreciate an answer ASAP... I'd really really appreciate it...

Thanks

Will sold that car a while ago so he may not be checking this forums often but you may want to check with greg (gkzr1) as he also has that 17" setup in the rear and drags the living daylights out of his car.

Morris has put them on as well. Even with the 18's up front there is a $h!tton of grinding to get them to fit. It'll look good while there on but if you run a different wheel afterwards the calipers look pretty rough.

These are just teaser pics. I should have the car back after the first round of mods soon. Hopefully putting down over 700 on 93.




Sam and Brian @ Advanced Modern Performance in Arlington have a lot of time in this thing so far. But we should be able to run pretty well with it, hopefully! Next step is nitrous. Then who knows.

Did you grind the fronts or just the rear calibers?
