Default Z16 has smaller wheels?

I have a 2004 promotional card sent in the mail from Chevy.
They show all the wheel options and list the polished commemerative wheels seperately.
They list the Z06 high polish wheels as being 18x9.5 rear and 17x8.5 front.
:confused:
I think they got it wrong.

sounds like a misprint on their part, the ZO6 wheels are normal Z06 sizes, they do make a commerative edition coupe and vert those are probably for those.

Nope they had a seperate picture for the CE coupe/vert polished wheels and the sizes listed seperately.
I will post a pic of it later on.

I think they got it wrong.
I KNOW they did. I actually measured mine prior to install. They are 9.5 fronts, and 10.5 rears..................... :yesnod:
