I'm tired of running mid-pack with 300tw tires in SS I've been told the best SS setup is using C6 Z06 rears (19x12)? and 19x10's front with 285/30 front 305/30's in the rear. RE 71R's of course. My questions are: Can I run 305's in the front without rubbing? Would I want to? Does running 19's in the back mess with the computers? I'm having a difficult time finding someone to part with just the rear wheels.. Are there any other options (after market) for front and rear? What is the offset?

Thanks for your help

I run 305 RE-71 on the front and rear with 19X10 +40 front and 19x12 +59 rears and I use PTM with no issues.. I've never heard of a SS setup for a C7 that is better. I think the 285/30/19 is taller than the 305 so computer issues might be more pronouced. No major rubbing as long as your car is not too low. I use the Z06 replica wheels from Bob's house of wheels, they are heavy but they fit in my budget and they work.

Steel brakes or Carbon? I have some other options that are lighter than replicas. I know they will fit on Carbon brake cars (bigger) with some spacer but you get really up against the wheel offset rule alllownce of +/-7mm. And I have done lots of Forgestar CF5's which have zero issue clearing the front brakes if you know how to order them. And they are legal offset as well.

I have a set of replica's too I picked up when I was in a big hurry for a set of 19's, they could anchor the USS Nimitz. Seriously they are about 7 pounds each more than the Forgestars.

305 square is the only workable option.

BCpower,
What wheels do you have?
