2002 Eb Z06

Alright I need more help. I want wheels and tires for my 02 blue. Want a racey look. My car is lowered on fatory bolts. What size wheel tire combo should I go with.

Please post pics of your Vettes so that I can see different styles and sizes.

I think the stock Z06 wheels in chrome look best on EB IMHO!

Just sold my chrome aftermarket ones that came on the Z06, I'm now running with the Alcoa rims, powdercoated ALL black. Hope to have pictures next weekend.

The chrome looked nice, but it was hard to keep clean, and I'm not much of a fan for chrome.

Is your car lowered? Mine is lowered on stock bolts. Would I have a problem running this set up?

Mine is dropped on the stock bolts.

They fit great on my car, but I had to remove the rear brake ducts. That's a tire issue though and not the wheels. The tires just barely scrubbed. I think the Conti's might run wide. I know someone with 315 Michelin's who has no clearance issues.

Hi Larry -

lowered on stock bolts

CCW 19"x10" Front 19"x11" Rear
P275/30 ZR 19 (96Y) Front
P305/30 ZR 19 (98Y) Rear

and as the car is now - OEM Z16 polished/clear-coated rims and stock sized tires.

I shortened my antenna to 9 inches by cutting it and re-attaching the static-ball on the tip.

best regards -

just ordered my tires, but you won't be able to get my wheels in this size as they are discontinued. I'll post pics, when mounted they are BC-10's in 19x11 and 19x9.5.
