ZO6 with runflats
I want runflats on my Z. Who has done this ? I know the new Super Car run flats in 18 & 19 inch will work. I would rather not buy new wheels. Does anyone make 17 & 18 inch runflats that will work ? Something wide enough.. Please no flames...

I think you will need different rims... Not much offered in EMTs other than stock sizes... you could sell your rims and get C5 sized chrome Z06 repro's or get C6 repro's with 18" and 19" EMTs....

I have chrome Motor Sports in ZO6 sizes on my Z. Glad to hear someone has used standard C5 runflats on this size wheel. Between all the standard size runflats which has the actual wider foot print?

I may just buy 18 &19 inch wheels and the new style super Car runflats. I can always sell my 17 & 18 in Motor Sports later. Someone asked WHY I would do this. Well I have had flats in every Vette I have owned. Much less hassle with runflats, and the new ones are much better than the old...
