Default Drag pack installed

08 Z06

Weld S71 17x10 front and 17x5 rear (Hi Pad)

Hoosier 315-35-17

Mickey Thompson ET front runners 26x6x17

Wheels powdercoated

Rears mounted with lots of Permatex Hi Tack
fronts hi speed balanced with thin steel wheel weights and metal tape over weights. Will bubble balancer the rears after a "break in" burnout and letting them rest overnight.

will mark Rears with paint stick to see if they tires move/how much on the rim.

Those front skinny are the Hi Pad version to clear Z06 front brakes..they do...but just barely...

The drag pack saves about 77 lbs over the street setup:

CCW LM20 wheels and Nitto Invo tires

19x12 with 345-30-19 rear tires (37 lbs, 4.32 oz each...diameter 27.17in) 64lbs tire/CCW

18x10 with 275-35-18 (25 lbs, 3.8 oz each....diameter 25.51 in) 53lbs tire/CCW

Total Nitto tires weight: 125 lbs
Total CCW/Nittos: 233lbs

If its working as is sure just leave it but lowering the rear may help traction a bit on a loose track if need be.
Prolly gets out quick with the shorter diameter compared to stock.
