staggered 17/19 wheels
Has anyone tried staggered 17/19's or 18/20's on their C5 or C6? (pics)
My 'ol waggon-wheels are needing new tires and thought it might be a good time to upgrade. Just looking for more of a muscle car exotic look

I can probably take another picture... that is the only one I had sitting around.
Down side is you need different sized tires... but everyone with a vette has larger back tires.
Those little back tires will not be staying... i freaking hate them
There is no reason for them.

www.toquez06.com --->How to Determine the correct "Tire Size" for new wheels on a C5 and C5 Z06:
This is the general rule of thumb you want to follow.
Stock C5 rear tire diameter is 1.0" larger than the front tire.
Stock Z06 rear tire diameter is 0.7" larger than the front tire.
Notice that I'm talking about "TIRES" above and not RIMS.
You want to MAKE sure that your REAR tire is AT LEAST 0.5" larger in diameter (compared to front tire) at all times to ensure no computer issues.

Thanks !
Yes my setup will fit a Coupe/Vert or Z06 with no issues.
Many people run the exact sizes I am.
