Show me your rims/tires, best sizes for C5 ?
Taking delivery of my new to me 2001 Coupe w/Z51 suspension tomorrow, my first mod will be some nice new Tires and Rims, leaning towards CCW and or a nice ZR1 Chrome look.
What are the best Max size that will fit with NO Rubbing ?
Thanks and cheers!

You'll get a bunch of different opinions on this, but after going to a 19/20 setup I would never go back to anything else. In my opinion they are the best looking size for the Vette, they just look like they belong. Here's our 19/20 True Forged Victorys

I love my CCW's, 19-20's, but there will be some rubbing issues with these bad boys. That is, unless you want to spend a little more $$$$.

All of these look beautiful, nice work guys!
Any mods need to be completed if running to the 19/20 inch rear wheels in back to clear any errant codes ?
Thanks!

I ran CCW Big Street Classics on my car. 18's all around. The wheels were 18x10 and 18x11.5 and I ran 275x35 and 315x30 PS2's on them with no rubbing. The rears were flush and didn't stick out at all.
I'm running CCW SP500's now 18/19 with 18x10 on the front and 19x13 on the rear. Tires are 275x35 and 345x30 PS2's but you not going to fit the rears without tubs or flares.

Definitely leaning toward the 19/20 sizes, they look incredible!
A couple of questions:
Is there any recalibration or other systems related issues that need to be accounted for due to size?
Also will stock 2006 wheels be a direct fit on a 2001 or will there be offset issues or ?
Thanks!
