Default Wheels & Tires question

Debating on putting on a set of 19" RUFF RACING 281

BLACK/ 5 x 120 +35 OFFSET FRONT AND +45 OFFSET REAR

On my 2001 ZO6

Link (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...4131287&rd=1,1)

Question one how will the sized effect my Speedo traction control etc, two has anyone ever had any experience with either Ruff wheels or high-performance Nankang NS2 tires (245/35/19 and 265/30/19)

Thanks for you facts and opinions.

Those wheels are not the right fitment for your car. I have 18x9.5 OZ Superleggera wheels with a 59mm offset and 265/35/18 PS2 Michelin tires on the front. For the rear, 19x11 OZ wheels with a 65mm offset using 305/30/19 PS2 tires. No rubbing on the inside, and they don't stick out.

Love the look of the rims, never heard of them before. I figured the tire were **** but never heard of them before either. Has anyone ever ran this brand of rims before?
