Default Wheel size and tire size recommendation

Hey guys,

So I'm looking into wheels and looking at different possibilities of setups and now it's between a 19" front and 19" rear OR 19" front and 20" rear. Planning to do either a 19x10 and 19x12 or 19x10 and 20x12.5 but I'm trying to stay in specs for the active handling/traction control so it doesn't give me any problems when doing hard cornering or driving aggressively. What does everyone recommend with the size wheels and what tire sizes should I run on the setup you guys recommend to stay in spec. Any information will help, thank you.

Depends on what you are wearing to do with your Z06. I use the Continental Extreme DW for daily driving and track events. Not the best Autocross tire. For Autocross you can use BFgoodrich Rival S in 315 & 335 on 18" rims. Toyo R888 are good and there is always Hooiser A7 or R7 slicks for Autocross or track. Daily driving I like the DW and there are a number of good sizes and good prices. Just know that 19" & 20" rims will really limit your tire choices.

Personal preference...I would keep the same wheel size. GM engineers put them on there for a purpose. You can always go bigger with tires. Just my opinion.

Yes 20's on back and 19s up front.. u are really screwed for tire size choices. Keep 19x12 and 18x9.5... run factory size up front and u can go 345 30 in rear if u want.

Give me a ring I can go over all the numerous fitments we can do and all the widths available which depend on what tires you want to run etc etc. We have all of em.

Thanks,
