z06 throws codes with 17" wheels on it
I couldn't edit my prior post, but my 2004 Z06 with 23000 miles had no issues, then I put on 17" CCW's and Hoosiers, and in one lap at Infineon both service t/c and abs prompts came on and a few laps, power was cut momentarily. I have now put the stock wheels on and all codes are gone. I used this same set-up on my 2001 Z06, and no issues. Any ideas?mddpm

Whoever sold you the rims should of told you the possible problems when going with the same wheel diameters on F/R on a C5 that has the AH system.

Much appreciated advice---cannot get the old car back since it caught fire and was a total loss. Must be that this 2004 is more sensitive to the overall diameter. I am going to purchase a pair of fronts different sidewall and if it fixes the problem will list the almost unused front tires. As always, the Forum comes through.mddpm

Its not the rim size that is causing you issues. Many people run 17/17, 18/18, 19/19 combos with no issues. I run a 19/19 combo with no issues. 
Your problem is your tire sizing....
