Default Z06 rub...

Anyone running 19" X 11" wheels on the back with rear Z06 brake air ducts? I just installed a set of the ducts on my 'vert and clearance is fine with stock-size wheels and tires but will not clear my oversized HREs with 295/35-series Michelins. :mad

Ideas? :confused:

Thanks in advance.

I need to check my rear wheel/tire combo and see what the size is. I'm sure I'm running 305/35/19 in the rear, just not sure which rim. They came on the car.

Thanks, guys. Maybe there is some flexibility with how the duct mates up with the side screen and how the duct is anchored to the body that will allow me a little more clearance???

I think you will find that there is not much flexibility with the ductwork. It is a hard plastic and will not flex much. Good luck getting the rubbing noise fixed.
