Need New Tires!!!
Hi, I have a millennium yellow C5 that still has the chrome rims, but I have a set of black Z06 rims. can you guys recommend a good set of tires to put on the ZO6 rims that would work on my car, and ones that wont "rub" when I take corners. Thank you

If I'm not mistaken, getting OE spec tires is very challenging. I have read that some are using 275/40/17 front and 285/35/18 rear (assuming you are speaking of C5 Z06). Conti and Sumitomo put out some decent rubber in these sizes, based on a quick check.
Hope this helps and I'm sure others will weigh in on their experiences.

The tires that are on your car will be fine putting them on the Z06 wheels. These wheels on my car are C5-Z06 size With the same size tire that is on your car now. Ten years with this combo, no problem.
