Upgrade wheels and tires
Can I get put the larger z51 rims and tires on my standard Corvette? I have a 2015 on order and did want to upgrade the rims. If I cant do this because the suspension and trany-- etc are tuned to the smaller wheels, is there anything else to get the look? Thanks, Eddie

it's no problem to do. go for it.
for about 750-1000 more you can call Ben at Weapon X and save 10 lbs per wheel with Forgelines.

Along that same topic, does anyone know if the standard 18/19" wheels will fit over the Z51 brakes? I see lots of stock sets for sale and was considering picking up a set and putting A/S tires on for the winter.

The fronts will be tight to the calipers and depending on how the balance weights are mounted they can make hard contact with the caliper. IMHO although they technically fit, they are too close for comfort.
