First, Congrats on that run, awesome driving! :cheers: Second, how well do the 315s fit on the 9.5" Z06 rim? Do you think you're getting the full contact patch that you would get with an 11" rim?

Yes, I am curious to know as well as I am considering either 315/35 on 17x11 rims or 275/40 on 17x9 .5 rims.

What do you think?

Take a look in the Drag Raceing section, Scorp posted pictures of the 315's mounted on my Z06 wheels. I had to run higher air presure to get the center of the tire down to get the full contact patch. Thay seem to work well but if your not interested in haveing matching wheels an 11" wheel will be better. I don't know how much better. I do know puting more air in the 315 on a 9 1/2 worked better for me than a 275 on the 9 1/2 wheel. Ric
