Wheel/Tire Combos
Hey guys,
Well, I almost have my corvette back on the road, after a solid year of work. Just the interior and the paint left
(no more fun stuff).
I am looking at getting a reasonable wheel/tire combo. I would like an open wheel look since I painted the calipers, and also a big size. I am not sure what I can get without offset trailing arms as far as width and what is the maximum diameter? Any wheel pictures would be awesome! As far as tires, I am looking for a tire that will mainly perform on the street/track, although I can see myself running the drag strip every now and again. I know this is sort of a tough topic especially with what I want, but your guys' insight would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Matt

Was there a problem useing 18" wheels on the front or is it because that is the way those wheels are used on the Z06.
Did you need to use spacers.
