F/S 17" Drag Pack-Front and Rear Wheels + Front Tires
SOLD!!
For sale is one set of OEM 17" C5 Z05 Wheels (no rear tires included) with Center Caps and Lug Nuts. Wheels spray painted in gloss black to match the one set of 17" GTO (spare) "Skinny" wheels with mounted/balanced M&H 185/55R17 Radials.
The 17" oem C5 Z06 wheels weigh approx 19 lbs each and the 17" GTO wheels weigh approx 13 lbs each. All wheels are in excellent physical and cosmetic condition. The M&H tires weigh approx 16 lbs each. They have less than 100 miles on them.
I paid $300 for the rear wheels, $175 for dealer new front GTO wheels (very hard to obtain new) and $300 for the M& H tires (plus $30 to mount and balance the fronts).
$499.95 Plus UPS Shipping. PM or E-Mail Me.
btw-look for my other performance parts for sale including Kooks 1 3/4 headers, Kooks Hi Flow Cats, 2006-2007 center console, OTC-3833 Tire Pressure Monitor Kit, and two air canisters with 2 tire sensors in each of them.

I dont know about the fronts. As for the rears, here is the expert:
For a C6Z06 the rear calipers will accommodate OEM C5Z06 wheels, either the fronts (17" x 9.5") or rears (18" x 10.5").
With the C5Z fronts you just need to be careful with wheel-weight placement. Don't put them right next to the spokes.
There is no need to widen the C5Z rears, whose 10.5" width is within MT's spec (10" to 12") for the 305/35.18. But the contact patch of that tire can put a hurt on a stock LS7 clutch, depending on the launch technique.
One of the big mistakes owners make in selecting a drag radial is going with a bigger contact patch than the clutch will tolerate. If the coefficient of friction at the contact patch is too great, it dramatically increases the tendency of the clutch to slip. That and too high of a launch rpm are the main factors in premature clutch failure that plagues C6Z racers.
