+1 on the 19/20's, love the stance and the look. I did have to trim my GM rear wide-body kit when I went with 345 Nittos on my Iforged wheels. 10 mins a dremel made quick work of that little lip that was rubbing.

Love it, will stay at 19/20.

No difference in performance on street. Can't tell on X either, but then I'm certainly no expert.

Sure does fill those wheel well gaps

I had the 19 and 20 setup on my 08. I didn't have any issues at all. Here are some pics, they are not the best.

Alway's liked your's DC. and real glad to know performance hasn't suffered. l also alway's liked your hood as well.

Looking good. Man, the more I'm seeing, the more norm they all look.

My wheels are from CCW:

19X10 SP16A
20X11 SP16A

My tires are Toyo Proxes TR1:

285/30-19
305/30-20


Yup, lowered quite a bit with adjustable coilovers.

Has anyone put larger brakes on their car? If so what was the tag? I like the brakes on the Z06, i was told that it would cost alot of money to put the Z06 brakes on a base model vette.

No..not at all.
I just put new 19/20's on my Z06. No issues with T/C or Active Handling.
No rubbing probs either, the ride, to me is very similar to when I had the factory GY's, due to the terrible ride from runflats.
I went with Nitto INVO's.
Bought my wheels from a sponser here, Corvette Wheels.
As a matter of fact, he put my car on his website. You can see my JSB Z06 at:

I have 20/20's. It was rubbing before I did the rear widebody. No issues now. You need to make sure you either do 19/20's or a higher tire in the back. Otherwise you will have traction control issues!

Go with the 19/20, this coming from a Z owner who has done the 20/20 set up and even the 20/21 (running a 375 rear) the 19/20 is the best "feel" with the Vette.

Thanks also. Good to get all of these positive recommendations from those who know first hand. Especially, since some as yourself can throw anything on there.
