Tires: 275/30-19 Front, 305/25-20 Rear

Wheels are Forgeline SP3P 19x10 front, 20x11 rear

Offset is unknown.

Car a little lower than stock, probably less than a inch lower, on coilovers.

couple random pics from a few years ago

I like the look but here in Florida I have seen many side wall failures ( for lack of much side wall) Great tire/wheel combo for a show but any kind of racing ...........
Good luck.

I would think they would clear. I have the Brembo GT big brake kit and the front rotors are 365 mm (14.37 inches. The stock c6 z front rotors are a little smaller at 13.98. The caliper is really close to the spokes of the wheel though. If there are clearance issues, would most likely be the caliper.

Here is a close up pic and you can see how tight it is.

thanks my Fiks profile-5 s are really tight, don t think one can get a cigarette paper between the caliper and the spoke. on the rear there is 3/8" spacers. right now i have 18/19 with 305 s on the rear.

With out a roll bar you are not much of a racer. I 4 with all the road building you have been lucky. Don't put to many miles on your tires and pray you don't hit
a pot hole.
Good luck

They look better, subjectively. Performance isn't great, though.

It was stiff, but okay unless I encountered an especially bumpy road. The OEM shocks were pretty compressed at that height. It rode quite comfortably once it was raised just an inch from the height of that in those photos.

Performance isn't great or isn't much better than 19 and 18?
