Default 20"/21" combo. Anyone have pics??

Just seeing if anyone has some pics of 20/21s on a c7 z06?

going to do 295 30 20 and 355 25 21. I know 295 25 20 is what people go with but just want to fill up fenderwells

The old 375/20R21 didn’t rub, but discontinued since 2013. The replacement tire is the 355/25R21, but it’s too tall to fit the Vette opening. Your only real option is the 325/25R21 in either the Pirelli P Zero or the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Here are my latest Signature wheels on 265/30R20 and 325/25R21 Michelin’s.

You’re not gonna be happy with that 355/25R21. I ran it and it rubs. It’s just too tall. Check me out on IG @absoluthank I’ve run 4 different sets of 20/21 on both my Z06s

I'm also running 355/25/21's...rubs like crazy. Definitely regret going with the 355's.

Mine rubs bad on the back wall of the wheel well. Any sort of dip, bump - basically anything that causes the rear to dip, it really rubs. Sucks. (Of course I was told by the vendor that they never had any rub on any of the Z06's with the wheel/tire package I purchased... yeah...)
From the floor, straight through the center line of the wheel, to the fender is 28-5/8"

The 295/30/20's will rub the front of the wheel well when you turn also. Though not nearly as bad as the rear. My fronts have eaten away enough of the liner that I don't hear them rubbing any more.

I have a 20/21 setup on my C6 ZR1, but the fitment is the same. Went with a 265/30 front and 325/25 rear. They're about 3/4" taller than OEM and fill the wheel well nicely on my lowered car. The 355 rears are too tall IMO.

The old 375/20R21 didn’t rub, but discontinued since 2013. The replacement tire is the 355/25R21, but it’s too tall to fit the Vette opening. Your only real option is the 325/25R21 in either the Pirelli P Zero or the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Here are my latest Signature wheels on 265/30R20 and 325/25R21 Michelin’s.

You can do it with a 325/25 or the old 375/20, not a 355/25.

These fill the wheel well out! Fit right in! Not sure of the tire size!

I just ordered the 325/25 and 265/30 combo for the Signature wheels I just picked up on the forums here. Can't wait to get them on especially after seeing all of AbsolutHanks pics. Just incredible!!

I was assured there would be no rubbing by the vendor here, and that they had sold numerous 20-21 packages with this combo and never had any rubbing. Straight BS, don't believe it.

That looks amazing. But how do you even mount something like that on the rim? Wow.
