My upgrades
 
2 Attachment(s)
I finally got my tires, wheels, and TPM's installed yesterday. Totally different look and drives like a different car and so much quieter. C6 Z06 chrome replicas with Hankook tires and Dorman TPM's. Also installed skip shift eliminator, LMC5, hood seal, new hazard flasher and cool it fan mod. I am done for now. Before and after pics of wheels. Thanks to all who answered my questions on all the above add on's. Happy Thanksgiving

Nice work. Being done is hard to do once the mod big hits haha.

Looks Great! I was just about to order the black Z06 rims for my silver coupe now I'm torn between the two.

Very nice! Those ZO6 wheels really look great on C5'5's. I installed Hankooks on my FRC this summer and love the difference they made in the drive and feel of the car.

Can't tell from your photo but if u don't already have the c5 center cap emblem, u can pick them up from ebay if you like that look. Your vette looks great.

I was toying between c6 z06, stock c6, and c6 grand sport. I looked at online photos of each and in person at this yrs corvette expo before pulling the trigger on the z06. Good luck

Looks nice. :thumbs:
What wheel/tire size are you running?

bjones7131 11-27-2014 04:52 PM

Stock oe factory tire size, 245/45/17 front and 275/40/18, wheels are 17x9.5 front, 18/9.5. Long story short, i got tires before i got wheels, they were on closeout from tirerack, when i went to order wheels come to find out the front oe size wheels (17/8.5) are hard or impossible to get so i had to go with 17/9.5. Tirerack spec. Suggest not mounting on no bigger than 9 in. Wheels. Everyone i talked with said it was safe to run tire on this wheel but they may look a little stretched. Will have to be careful not to get to close to curbs. Next time i need new front tires i am told i should get 255/40/17. Appearance wise they look good, maybe a little stretched on front, nothing i can't live with.
