Any Stingray owners on aftermarket wheels and Michelin A/S tires?

First winter with my 2019 Stingray and want to make the switch to all season tires. Also want to get new wheels so figure I can kill two birds with one stone.

Reached out to a few forum vendors for quotes on wheels and was surprised to learn that a lot of wheels don’t work for the Stingray and if they do, Michelin doesn’t make the A\S 3+ in the right size for them.

Any of you out there that have made this work? Would love to see some options to give me some ideas

Cray Spiders. My cold season set. Offsets are perfect on my Z51 Stingray.

Mine is a Grand Sport, but I have Cray Makos and Michelin A/S. Cray wheels are Corvette specific designs that use OEM center caps and lugs.

On my '14 Stingray, I went with a set of reproduction C7 ZR1 wheels in stock base C7 sizes and at the same time went with the Michelin A/S 3+ ZP tires in stock sizes. Love the combination. Here are pics of the tires/wheels:

I'm not on Michelin tires, but these are Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 tires(Dry, Wet, Snow) and XO Luxury Wheels (the style is called Verona).

Mine is a Grand Sport, but I have the Michelin AS3 all season tires mounted on Vertini RFS1.2 wheels.

I have a GS with Forgeline VX1R monoblock forged wheels and Michelin A/S 3s. Bought the combo already mounted, with TPMS and computer balanced from CW4L.

Check Tire Rack to see what they have available for your car. I know that they have AS3+ ZP plus American Racing wheels available for not a lot for the 18"/19" wheels on Sting Ray for earlier years.
