Wheels And Tire Questions
I Know I Will Open A Big Can Of Worms But Here Goes.
1. Wanting Chromed Zo6 Style Rims And Know There Are Poor Replicas Out There So Where Would You Suggest To Get Them?
2. Wanting To Go 18" On Front And Rear Will This Effect Traction Control, Handling, Etc?
3. Width For Rims 10.5 On Rear And 9.5 On Front Correct Size?
4. Best Overall Tire For Both Wet And Dry Performance, I Do Some 1/4 Mile Runs At Track But Mainly Street Driving, Don't Care About Run Flat Or Not But Know The Stock Run Flats Have To Go And What Tire Size?
5. Want To Be Able To Use Tire Pressure Sensor In New Rims
Thanks In Advance

I got my Z06 Motorsports wheels from "THE House of Wheels" they are a forum sponsor and are knowledgable about the corvettes needs. Tires are fun to shop for, I've have the F1's on my car and think I will stay with this style. They give decent traction good wet performance and they should last me about 25000 miles.

1. Forum vendor - left side of screen
2. Only a problem if you go with same size tires f/r
3. Yes, those are stock ZO6 rim widths
4. Don't know - I don't drive in the rain
5. Should be no problem, verify when buying
Good luck

Just remember to keep the tire diameter the same as stock. If you go with a larger rear diameter this will change your rear gear, speedometer etc... Again, do what you want in regards to rims but try to keep tire diameter the same. BFG Drag radials (Don't know about rain though) Michelin Pilot Sport (Not the best traction at the strip but better than stock). Tire pressure sensor works on almost any rim.
