Default ZO6 rims question

Hello, I am upgrading to the ZO6 size rims. MY current ones are the factory sizes: 17X8.5 and 18X9.5. The Zo6 size rims, as you know are 17X9.5 and 18X10.5 respectively. Can I fit my tires from my stock rims onto the new ZO6 rims even though they are 245/45/ZR17 and 275/40/ZR18 sizes. Thanks:cheers:

Yes, they will fit.

When you need new tires though, I'd highly recommend going to the wider Z06 size tires unless you absolutely need the security of the runflats.

:cheers:

Cool, thanks for the info. I am going to be putting the new Nitto 555R II's on the back of the car and some normal radials up front. The EMT's up front are so new though, I hate to waste them. Thanks for the info!!!
