I'm thinking we'll see 19" front, 20" back wheels on the C6.
Also, anyone got a read on how much longer the C6 wheelbase will be as compared to the C5?
Is January 2003 almost here yet? I want my C6 Z06.

I think it has been said that the wheelbase will be a touch longer, but the actual car itself a tad shorter than the C5. This meaning that the wheels are pushed out to the corners more.
I really hope we DON'T see a 19/20 wheel combo on the C6. That will seriously limit tire selection, and I think a 19/20 combo is not a nice choice for performance handling.

Besides, that Caddy is so fug-ugly it needs all the help it can get from oversized rims.

Re: (ArizonaZ06)
19" and 20" are usually on showcars or are aftermarket selections. I don't know of any mass produced car that come with anything larger than 18s. That being said, I'd love to see 19s and 20s as an option from the factory!
