I am looking for a set of wheels that are 18x9.5 (base fitment) in the front and 18x12 or 18x13 in the rear with a Z06 fender fitment.

Someone had them on a yellow car with black wheels and posted pics.

I want to order that size wheel and any help would be apprciated.

My 345's are on a ccw drag pack. They can do any combination of fitments there are for a vette.

I wish I had some up close pics, this is the best I can do right now.

SpinMonster

What size rear wheels are they?

RCC

Rears are 18x13.

I'm running 18x11.5 CCW's on M/T 345's but if you measure the rim they are 12.5 inches wide.... call up John at CCW and he will give the exact specs

SpinMonster

I'm looking at how things look right now and will hold off on the math.

Do you have close up pictures?

I don't have my car with me right now but if you like I can post up pics of the rims and tires

Gotcha

Here's a recent thread with some Z06 style wheels in 18x12

Rim width is measured from the inner bead seat to bead seat. So an 11.5" rim should measure 12.5" total outside width, A 10" rim measures 11" total etc...

I'd recommend calling CCW too. They will make exactly what you want with billet wheel quality

Adding some more power, or simply some automotive attitude?

I think I'm being misunderstood. I dont want Z06 style wheels. I want to see how an aftermarket wheel thats 18x12 or 18x13 looks on a car with Z06 fenders.

I want to see various styles in an 18" diameter for Z06 fenders. I'd like a 3 or 4" lip on the wheel too for the rear.

I also want to see how the 345/35/18 MT ET street looks on an 18x12 vs 18x13 as far as stretched sidewalls as a comparison.

ETW

Not a Z06 but here are some pictures of the 345/35/18 MTs on an 18x12.5

Exactly what I wanted to see; how the tire fits a particular wheel width. I guess 13" wide is exactly what it needs. Now to find a wheel that looks good on a white z51 with wide fenders.

Thanks.

Gotcha

Hope this Helps

that looks great!!!

I am thinking the same thing...... It looks pretty good and should hook much better than ps2's

SpinMonster

A MT ET street in a 255 width hooks better than a 345 PS2.

Those are the pics I have but wanted to see them on a car. Does anyone know the style number for that forgeline wheel? Thats the wheel but I need a comp gray metallic color.

I have 16psi from a 2200 paxton ECS kit with meth injection on a H/C motor. I also have an active nitrous system that can be jetted to anything. Its all being fed with an ECS fuel system with 1000hp capability. No one that owns the car (me) is willing to use the nitrous on top of the silliness it already is.

I think things will simply break when I go from the 305/35/18's to 345/35/18's (all MT's). I have C5 shafts and a stage 3 C5 diff with a lev 5 trans but it isnt going to help the internals in the trans or the main shart or even the drive shaft.

I want the look of the bigger fenders and the ability to floor the car in 2nd and third on a good size shot.

Mr.Big

Your tranny just said OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! get ready to start spending some money on spare driveline parts hope you have better luck than me...

SpinMonster

I'm not sure how much better the 345 is than the 305.

I already did the C5 1/2 shafts, Lev 5 trans (carbon fiber sych/billet forks and keyways) and the diff is a C5 with 2 hardened shafts, cryo case and gear set shot p'ed. I guess the drive shaft and trans output shaft is near.

Clutch is a spec twin.

I was out tonight thinking more power from cold air and slipping tires from a cold ground didnt do much for more accel.

You and I both have nitrous on top of this silliness. We are a forged bottom from 1000HP. I'm thinking about it just to have a big dyno sheet to post up like PowerLabs does. (just jokin on Sam....he is a great guy)

I'm never gonna get any of this money back out of the car.
