Default F/S Rear Drag Wheel setup will work with skinny body and wide body.

Up for sale are a pair of OE Replica Wheels (C5Z06 Black Wheels with a machined face and lip). These Wheels are 9.5 inches wide and wrapped in Hoosier Slicks. The specs on the slicks are

Tire Size: 28 x 10.00-17
Wheel Diameter: 17 in.
Sidewall Style: Solid white letters
Tire Construction: Bias-ply
Tire Diameter: 28.00 in.
Section Width: 11.30 in.
Tread Width: 9.50 in.
Minimum Recommended Wheel Width: 8.00 in.
Maximum Recommended Wheel Width: 10.00 in.

The Wheel and Tires may have about 50-75 miles on them and about 10 passes. The tires have more than half of the thread left. These Wheels will work on C5s C6s and C6Z and Grandsports. The wide body's require Hubcentric Wheel Spacers to make them look normal which I will Include to anyone that needs them for the wide bodies.

I am doing the 15inch wheel conversion so won't have use for these anymore. The Wheels and Tires cost 723.94 before mounting and balancing. I'll let them go for $450.00 and $500.00 including the Spacers. These wheels and tires made 345 Nitto NT05Rs and 345 Mickey Thompson ET Streets seem like run flats on my car when it came to traction.










Here's a little test hit in Mexico on 15lbs of boost and a little 50 shot of Nitrous (950rwhp Tune up through an auto). The road was pretty bumpy which hoped me over into the other lane and also got a little squirly around 165-170mph when you see brake lights. Same shot and tune I can't even consider doing a 50-60 roll without going 3 lanes wide on 345 drag radials. These little slicks do work but it's time for some more sidewall.


Willing to ship at buyer's expense. Thanks!

Yes with the spacers needed for the wide bodies there is tons of room at the brakes. My car has OEM C6Z06 brakes and there are no fitment issues.

Hi Matt, i currently have the exact rim(oem c5z 17x9.5) and tire combo. Do you still have the Hub-centric wheel adapters? if not could you point me in the right direction on where you got yours and the specs need, and what type of lugnuts to use.
Thanks.

Hey man, if you've still got the tires and spacers, I'll take them. Please PM me with the Paypal payment details and I'll get you some $.

I'd need them shipped to S. California to a commercial address. They'll load them into one of my containers and save a small fortune in freight costs across the pond.

Thanks, I hope to hear from you soon.
