Default 20/19 wheel users

New vette owner here, picked up a 01 Silver Z06 last week and have been reading the forums since. I got in on the Z06 motorsport wheel GP and I am not sure what size tires to get for it. Could all you 20/19 users let me know what size tires you went with. Thanks

I'm using 275/30/19 on 19x9.5 front and 285/30/20 on a 20x10 rear.

The Z wheels are a wider 20x11 though, and while the 285 will fit it, most of the guys have been using the 305/25/20 Continental tires. (same 275/30/19 front).

Continental is the only manufacturer of that 305 size. The 285 is made by 5 or 6 different companies. No other suitable sizes or options exist for the 20" rear.

:cheers:

:withstupid:

For 11" wide tires the Cont. Sport 305's and 275's are your best option.
