Default Rim sizes and availability for Z07

I'm considering purchasing a full set... wheels and tires, for off season driving. There are vendors here and elsewhere looking for my business. I'm a little concerned about buying them, having them shipped and then finding out they don't clear the Z07 brake system.

What do I need to know about wheels and tires so I can shop confidently?

By off-season driving what do you mean? If snow tires or all season tires are your goal, then there are more 18/19 tires in those categories. Only a very few 18" wheels clear the Z07 brake package. You may find that 19/19 offers the best in tire sizes and wheels that will clear. You will also need to know the wheel offset front/rear. It has been posted on this forum so search for it.

I just want a set of wheels and tires that have no restrictions just for around town... but look bad a$$. Yes I know, the Z07 package needs the Cup tires. Just want to pull them off in the colder months.

He's advertized these available with the PSS ZP's mounted on them, too.
