The Z06 -- Thanks That gives me a pretty good feel for what I'd be looking at running the same spec wheel in the fronts. I may go with the 1" flare that Vettenuts is doing and then go with a 12.5-13" rear and that front. a 255 or 265 up front and a 315 out back sounds nice to me.

I'll have to check when I get home, so I can add it to my "Cool STORY" that chassed loves

18x11.5 wheels with the proper flush tires to go with it. Left the stretched & poke style

I was just giving you a hard time man. I actually LOVE your car and have pictures of it saved on my phone.

You have the race versions, what is that your using as a "center cap"?

No center cap....Just painted the centers black to eliminate the rust.

I know this is an old thread but I did see any offsets listed. I'm looking at wheels and want to see how low of offset I can go.
