Anybody running all 18's on their car?
I have a chance to buy 4 Z06 chrome replicas (with tires) here locally for not much more than I'd normally have to pay for just the wheels. The only "gotcha" is that all 4 rims are 18" (18x9 & 18x10).
So...I'm curious to see if anyone else is running all 18's on their car and if the size difference in the back is noticeable.
Thanks,
Christopher

18" All Around
I bought a set of BLACK aftermarket 18" rims from House of Wheels right here on the forum. They are in the column on the left in the wheels sect5ion. They were very helpful and I had them delivered to Horsepower Sales to be installed on my black corvette. I am running an 18 by 9 1/2 in the back with a Nitto DR 305/35/18 on it. These tires work great on the street for me and not that bad at the track either. Charlie C6 ROLLER

Does the back look any different with just the 18's or is it hard to tell?
The tire size I'd be buying is 275/35/18 on the front and 285/35/18 on the rears.

I'll post pictures when I get my car back but the 305/35/18 stuck out every so slightly but you can't tell when they are spinnig at 6,500 RPM's
