Another forum vendor (Corvette Garage) was also carrying them. Haven't checked lately to see if they still do.

Navy Blue,

I do not have them on the car yet. But here are some wheel pics.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/phot...y.php?cat=1031

Also I will be installing 265/35-18 and 295/30-19 Vredestein Sessanta tires from Tomzwheels.com on the car. Just waiting for the tires to arrive and some warmer weather.

I run on the front Nitto 555 Extremes 275/35/18 and the rears I have 2 have used NT-01s 315/30/18 and Falkens in the same size I have on now that are treaded and they are good in the wet weather and cruising, but kind of worthless with my boost

Anyone have some rears for sale in 18 X 11 I need just those rears to remount my NTs

I have the Ace Slick Chrome style wheels. My only complaint is it seems that it took a lot of wheel weights to balance them... perhaps it was the tire shop though...

Been a while since I've been around these parts and I guess I just want to clarify that the rears are available in a 79mm offst now. If that's the case I may be interested in selling my rears only. Unless someone wants the whole set with brand new T1R's.

I've got about an inch and a half between the tire and frame rail but only .5" between the tire and the inner fender. That's with a 295 too.

Here is the ACE Slick Hyperblack thread someone was asking about. Where is the best place to get a set of these wheels?

We call these wheels Z07, but they are the same.
We carry all the sizes and finishes in stock.
Give Chris a call if you need more info, or need a quote for a wheel tire pkg.

Thanks,

Nate

can someone help me with my 02 Z...

I want to do 18s all around.

What size wheels front/back, and what size tires - front/back.

Car makes 580 whp.. so something a big wider out back might help traction?

9.5 and 10.5 are the popular choice, or even 11.
265/35 F, 295/35 R. With the 11, I think 305 is ok, but not sure.

The 18in package is 18x9.5 fronts, 18x11 rears, so you can run 295-35, 305-30 or 315-30-18s for rear tires.
Give Chris a call at 806-771-0205 for a pkg quote.
Thanks!
