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.

Yes they will. That is what I have done.

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

Well I did the rear Z06 quarter panels, the SIC Motorsports 'Violator' hood, and the SIC Motorsports Z06 style front bumper all at the same time. A local body shop did the paint and install. Everything was about $2000.

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.

The cup holder is the Dual cup holder travel buddy.
