Z51 wheels on Base car question
Will installing Z51 wheels/tires on an base car affect the way the active handling/stabilitrak software works? Any problems? Thanks.

Negligible difference as the height (circumference) of the overall set-up is similar.

I had base 18/19" wheels on my Stingray and then I upgraded the front brakes to Z51 calipers and rotors. No fitment issues at all.
Drove it that way for many months before upgrading to 19/20 wheels.

The car will not ride quite as smooth because of the lesser profile. No big deal, but you will feel a slight difference.
