Default Tire/Wheel size comments please

Well, I can't wait any more. I GOTTA buy new tires and I am not gonna put nice new tires on ugly old WWs!!!!!!

So, from what I have gathered, seen pics, read threads and comments, etc., here is what I am planning:

Chrome Factory Reproduction Wheels C5 Z06 wheels, front 19-9.5's wrapped with Falken 452 275-30-19's

The back will have 20-11's wrapped with Falken 452 305-25-20's

I use the car quite a bit. Not quite a daily driver, but when I do drive it's 75 miles of mountain roads and about 200 miles of straight freeway.

Comments please, yay or any, and recommendations on sources. Sure would like to find a package deal.

Thanks

JP

Sounds great to me! I went with 19x11.5 in the back rather than 20, but 20's look really nice.

I had the Falken Azenis on my Z06 rims and thought the were excellent.
