Default weird question

from all the videos, pictures etc... that I've seen the wheels don't seem to be near as wide as the current c6, am I missing something? Anyone that was there can they confirm or deny?

Default Wheels and Tires

I noticed that also - however this is the base car - as such they are the narrowest.....

The wider tires are coming! They have not revealed the sizes of the tires on the optional performance packages. The brakes are a larger diameter - I will guess the tires will be also.

I read somewhere that the base wheels/tires would be slightly narrower than the C6 tires.

Also, are the rear tires are the same size as the fronts? That's how they look in pictures on Chevy's site:
