Question?
I have a basic c6 coupe that i want to put some new wheels on. It currently has stock wheels. The tires are new but not stock. They were on it when i bought it. The wheels im wanting to go to are 19 x 11s instead of the stock 19 x 10s. Will the tires i currently have look and function good on the new wheels? I dont want to have to buy new tires for 1 inch of wheel but i really want the 11s. My car is in storage right now so i cant give the tire size but they look fairly stock.

These are Ace Slick wheels. 9.5" in the front and 11" in the rear. They have the stock OEM tires on them.

Thanks for the help and pics man. Nothing is better than SEEING what it'll look like. I eventually want to put the Z06 fenders on the rear but thats too expensive for the next couple years. I bet you have fun in the smokeys living in NC

I got the rear Z06 quarters and parts from PartsTaxi for around $1200. I got the hood and bumper when they were on sale, both together were approx. $1400.
Oh yes, the wheels were only $750 for the set.
