Default Tire question

Looking online at a used C7 but no window sticker, my google fu is failing on vin decoder, and don't remember much about tire size. Was thinking 18/19 was on a standard Stingray and 19/20 meant Z51. Can't go look at my car right now

Edumakate me, does this mean Z51?

You're correct w/wheel sizes. Tire sizes are as follow:

P245/*40ZR18 front and P285/*35ZR19 rear- Standard
P245/*35ZR19 front and P285/*30ZR20 rear- Z51 & MSRC
P285/*30ZR19 front and P335/*25ZR20 rear- GS & Z06

Don't forget the 15's that had a cosmetic Z51 package, just wheels and spoiler

Look for slotted rotors

Links to 2014, 2015 and 2016 VIN decoders can be found in this sticky thread: Manuals, Reference Material, Online Order Guide, Order Tracking, etc.. VIN will definitively determine if it is a Z51 or not.

You can have a non-Z51 with Mag ride and the 19/20 wheels.
