Just curious what rim and tire combo would you recommend? Preferably to match my black wheels in the front? Thanks!

NorCal can fix you up I got my 19" replicas thru him and put Nitto NT05R's in 345-30-19 they hook pretty good and are very stable at high speeds BUT you need to have non runflats up front. I bit the bullet and bought another set of OEM front wheels from the outfit in Florida (you can find them on EBay) then mounted the new Continetal 2's in the front. They are non runflats. So now I have a set of wheels with runflats for road trips and a set for cruising locally.

Nice! I'm located in Florida too, does he have a site? Thanks again

LuckyC7Z06

For the 19's it's NORCAL-SS he's here on the forum do a search and his info will pop up. He's in Ca but I ordered on a Monday and Thursday had my wheels.
the fronts I bought from an eBay vendor from Florida.

I have 18x12.5 Forged monoblock Signature SV104 at 20 lbs or maybe even under 20 lbs ready to ship.

Will clear CCB Z07 too

I run the 19" replicas with NTO5R 345/30/19 and OE wheels and runflats upfront, no issues whatsoever.

Thomasmoto

Me too. No problem.

charles7970

thats great to hear I was thinking about the replicas on eBay I was a little skeptical on durability on hard launches I've rims snap before 🙈 Where did you get yours from? Thanks

LAYNLOW

We purchased ours from Bob @ OE Wheels (561) 445-7606. Bob's out of Florida, I think around Ft Lauderdale. Straight up guy and easy to work with. As for durability . . . that's a crap shoot. Bob said he's never heard of a wheel failure, but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen. If your C7Z is an A/T car, I wouldn't worry to much about it. Just be smart and check the wheels after every pass.
If you call him, tell him Jack/Illinois - Shafer Wines referred you, he'll get it.
Good luck!

Sweet thanks dude! just bought some 18 inch replicas just for drag racing purposes and recommendation on what tires will hook on these bad boys?

charles7970

Actually phew.. canceled just realized that these wouldn't clear the carbon brakes.. I'll call him in the morning for the 19's lol

davepl

Me too (NorCal-SS replica 19s plus NT05R drag radials). I'm running the factory runflats up front as well.

I do think it could be more stable (the MPSS felt more stable, and the C6Z with Nittos did as well for some reason), but it's way better than the MT ET SS I had before that!

LAYNLOW

I run Nittos NTO5R 345/30/19. I was a BFG DR guy for a long time, but Nittos have improved tremendously over the past few years.
I'll eventually spring for skinnies up front or do the mods to have a complete drag pack as the RWHP/RWTQ increase.
I ordered my replicas with the TPMS and the stock center caps (no emblem) and just popped out my OE caps.
I purchased my Nittos from Discount Tire. Reason being, they will match or beat other prices, at least my Discount Tire does. Bring a print out of the best deal you can find.
Good Luck!

I run an 18 replica with Toyo r888s out back. They hook ok... would be better if I was stock but the ride is great and they handle well.

18" or 19" replicas ...
I went with the 18s with MT mounted up. The Hoosier also does very well. For an optimal 19" i think the only show in town is the Nitto, in terms of DRs...

charles7970

thanks for chiming in! Do you think the 18's would clear carbon ceramic brakes? In the rear?

BooSSted

I'm not sure of that, maybe someone else can add to that. Or just bounce it off one of the vendors which sell the replica 18s.

C7/Z06 Man

I have the 18X12 chrome replicas. Tried them on a buddies C7R with the carbon ceramic brakes and they don't quite clear the rear calibers.

0Deity.Motorsports

18" Signature Forged 6061 T6 monoblock will clear CCB

Ahmed_otb

what about the 17x12 for the non Z07 would it fit
and if yes lets PM
