Mounted My 20" Nitto NT05R
Hey boys ... I was growing tired of switching wheels. I picked up a set of 20" Nitto NT05R Tires for my street rims. They fit on my 13" wide wheel !
I notice it eats up the power down low which helps my traction issues. Going from the Nitto 345/35/19 to the 315/35/20 is like putting a new rear end gear in the car.

I tried it on the stock ZR1 rim and it jacked up the car to high on the back and was throwing codes. The dashboard looked like a christmas tree.
So im going to run 19 all around with the Nitto's NT05R 345/19

Great Info !!
You might want to consider posting it in the Z06 Section - this is the ZR1 section . . . .

nice rubber! ! !
wonder how u got em? Too bad you make too much torque to race your car at Cayuga, I bet the dyno graphs are impressive, anyways sick set up!!! Do you owe it to Boostmaster to let him race your car then? Didnt you race his car? 
Are you making more torque than Boostmaster? Nice to see you back in action after 3 long years congrats

Considering this is more pertinent to all the stock 20" wheel cars in this section than the stock 19" wheel cars that section, perhaps he posted about them here on purpose.

They're tires, i.e. universal. You wouldn't have known he owned a Z06 had he not posted a picture.

I was just trying to be helpful and get his tread viewed by more folks - whatever . . .

pfffffft, wow, are you serious?!?!?!
This is the same mentality that gives corvette owners the elitest reputation poked at by others............... It shouldn't matter if this guy drove a Ford GT40 or a Viper. It is a 20" tire than any ZR owner could use, if needed.
I guess if a ZR1 owner puts something other than factory wheels on their car, they better find a different forum to post about their tires.
