For those of you with Supercharged Stingrays, what wheel and tire setups are you running???
I have a Z-51 stock setup with the original run-flats and I need to upgrade. No traction!!! I was considering a 19/20 setup with 11 inch wide wheels (possibly Cray Forged), and NT05's for the rubber. I just don't know sizes of the tires, offsets of the wheels, etc. I think I should go as wide a wheel as I can fit, no?

I had 586whp (significantly more now once I get it back) and was running a 19/19 set up.
305/35/19 rear NT05R's on 19x11 wheels. Worked decently well launching it at the track. I run Pilot super sports on the front wheels.
Had I known I would be upping my power to 800whp, I probably wouldve gone with a 18" rear wheel to get more sidewall personally, but Ill have to see how the current set-up handles the power.

No SC on the car yet but from the c5 in the higher 500 to 650 rwhp range. You are going to have to go with a good DR tires plus also in a 18 in are 17 are even a 16 inch rim. In the c5 I ran a 15 inch M&H and a hoosier 345x50x15. Then on the track ran the track only tire 275X15. That tire will hook the best of any of the above but it also is a drag only tire.

I was told to stick with the 19's in the front, but to drop to 18's in the rear with added rubber.

I learned this the hard way. Started off with a 19/20 setup and just recently bought 18's for the back. So now I'll be running 19/18.

On this set up on N/A motor holds really good at 150 mph. I will be done within a good 2 weeks on the new set up of A/A TI blower with a 3.6 pulley also running the meth. I will see how it does on the road with the back end, hope it doesn't go from side to side on the azz end at 110 mph plus like the c5 did with 15,s on the rear on the street. Robert

Last year, I added these XO Luxury wheels called Veronas. These wheels are one inch wider at all 4 corners. I'm using OEM sized rubber because the slight stretch gives it a much more aggressive look.
Yesterday, I got a set of Continental Extreme Contact DW 06 tires in the OEM size.
I was wondering if you had some pictures of your set Up? I also looked into some XOXO luxury wheels. What size did you order and what kind of vette are the Only?
thanks for your time.
