Default What 18" rims for ZR??

What 18" rims are you guys running on your ZR1s? I am looking for a 18x12+ rim to put MT streets on. I like the Forgestar cf10 but it looks like they only come in 19/20's. Also is there a concern about the rear brakes being to big for an 18 to fit? Any suggestions? Thanks

I purchased the Forgestar CF5 (18*12) for the rear of my ZR1. Very basic design but Forgestar says it is the only model they make that will clear the rear brakes.

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like there is not many options for an 18" rim.

You can use 18x13 CCW's. They fit & clear the brakes.

Did you get them just for the rear or all the way around?

I bought a full set of the CF5's. 18*10 fronts and 18*12 rears. Unfortunately there was a problem with the front rims. They did not clear the brake calipers. Forgestar acknowledged the problem and is in the process of sending me new front rims.

Good to know. Keep us posted on how the new ones fit. Are other running those up front with no problem?

315 will be inside fender by a lot..345 come flush with fender...m and h makes a very tall 325..either way they are both heavy.315s look terrible on my z06..I believe I will try hoos a7 because they are 6 lbs lighter for the street..I would get used light weight wheels...ccw...hre...etc

I also want to put some 18s and drag radials out back from track days. Can anyone suggest some cheap options for me?
