Default Tire sizes for c6z on stock rims?

My friend is buying some ZR1 rims for his 2009 c6z.

Q1, will that work?

On his original c6z RIMS he wants some a6 or 710 tires.

Q2, what sizes?

He will use TP sensors in both sets of rims as I understand it's required, unless somebody has figured out a way around this pita.

Thanks!

Can't speak for the ZR1 rims, but for the stockers you can run either 285 or 295/18's (I run 285's as they are lower and wider). Everyone runs 345's on the rear. All of the above fit perfect on stock rims. I ran 325's on the rear once and there is a HUGE difference in running 345's in the ability to put power down.

He will need to have TP sensors in both rims, and he will need the tire tool that resets the computer to relearn the new sensors in between changes. No way around it and most find the computer WILL put the car into disabled mode which will surely ruin your track day.

These would be the Hoosier sizes, correct?



I looked at Tire Rack for 710's and found they have one 19 inch rear @ 335x30x19

and several 18"

285x30x18
305x30x18
315x35x18
345x35x18

anyone run a combo of 710 sizes?
