Question, would these fit 265/35/19 & 315/30/20 Toyo Proxies tires properly? They are definitely wider than stock wheels, but your fitment recommendation is still the stock tire widths. Would they poke out of fit nice?

Also, I'd be curious to know a price.

You wouldn't be able to go with 265/35/19 & 315/30/20 on these wheels.

Max would be 255/30/19 & 295/30/20 some client not members have gone wider in the front & rear that dont mind the tire poke.

Do you have a weight for the wheel and tire combo for the stock Z51 setup?

Lots of pics!
It's not a lot of pics because the weather here has been horrible but here are a few, the day the wheels were mounted up on our car. Since then, NEED4SPEED sent us some black lug nuts and we swapped them out in lieu of the chrome factory ones.

For us, the stock ride height is unfortunately necessary for our car because of our driveway. It is VERY steep. If we went any lower, there is a 100% chance that we would scrape the front nose of our car. But, if you could imagine the car being lowered just a tiny bit, it would really have a mean stance!

Thank you sir.

I'm sold... These are the wheels for me. Dope.

What are the tire sizes again? Are those 295 in the rear? Still look a tad bit stretch but just a small bit... Same OEM RF's?

Bought a house and burning through cash filling it, I'll have to tell the wife to hold tight on a dining room table... She can use folding chairs and a box for now.

You guys have been wonderful NEED4SPEEDMOTORS. Thank you for all of your help along the way. Our first photo shoot has been done and we've done a few videos (one of which has made its' way to HIGH TECH CORVETTE). We've got our first car show coming up in about a month. Very excited about your wheels on our car!

Hey Boost Monkey.. The 295's in the rear are super. The overall look of the car now is miles ahead of the factory Z51 wheels. If there is a stretch, it is extremely minimal. It's hard to imagine the wheels fitting any better with the wider 295's on it. As for burning through cash, brother we are totally on board with what you are saying! ..LOL! Between the custom powder coated Vertini wheels, larger than factory Michelin PSS non-run flat tires, OEM GM New TPMS sensors, mounting and balancing, it set up back roughly 4K. All in all, not too shabby of an investment. The car gets TONS of compliments every time we take it out. We think you will NOT be disappointed!

I was one of the original purchasers of these RF1.1's. The color that I chose was nice but I grew tired of the semi-gloss black finish. Just a few days ago, I removed these RF1.1's off of my 2014 Z51 C7 and took them to my local powder coater.

I got to thinking..

19x9.5+50mm offset
20x11+70mm offset

I am running Michelin PSS's all the way around. 255's up front and 295's in the rear. I have NEVER had any clearance issues, ever. I have a chance to buy some Michelin PSS 305's but there doesn't seem to be any data if they will clear or not. I would appreciate the input!

Oh by the way, the car is at stock height. It is not lowered.

Hey Brother,
We are glad to hear you are enjoying your wheels.
What dolor did you finish them in?

We have ran 305 tires on the rear with absolutely no issues before. You should be good to go.
Just keep in mind, different brand tires, tho the same sizes may sit a bit wider or narrower than other.

Please feel free to PM, email, or contact us at the office at any time should you have any questions.

Thank you,
Alex
