Default Tire fit

Does anyone know if the C6 Z06 rim and tire (front and rear) will fit on a stock C6.

I heard Hoosier cam out with a 19"DR for the Z06. I wonder if it fits on the C6.

Here are the offsets. I think a member on here has done this. Bolt pattern is the same I believe.


C6 front 56
C6 rear 79
C6 Z front 40
C6 Z rear 59

Yes, both sizes will fit but depending on tire size they will likely stick out a little bit.

Did they really? I've been waiting for a 19" DR, I gotta check that out.

I think it is a DOT tire for auto cross and road racing. Not a drag race DR.

Oh ok, I looked and didn't see any 19" (or even 18") DRs so that must be it.

When I talked to the guy they said to order the Auto Cross tire. Here it is. Looks like a mean DR resembeling the ET street to me.
