Default A few pics of the Z-51 with C5 Z06 rims.

I took the car out of the garage today and decided to clean her up. I had some old wax that needed to be used right away.

I received a few pm's from some members in regards to the rear tires which are 315/30/18, and "if" they stuck out. I took a few pictures from some different angles today to show you that even though they are a 10.5 inch rim they fit perfect. The reason I went with these rims is because they look awesome in my opinion, and they are very light. Plus the normal 17x11 (GS/ZR-1 rims) are way too common in my neck of the woods, and stick out.

My last picture thread turned into more of an exhaust thread because of one member, so here are some more pictures fella's!



Take care!

Those wheels and tires do look great on your car. The way they come right out to the wheel opening is just the right look. You are right about the ZR-1 wheel. They look good but they are every where, that's why I'm looking at replacing mine with something else in the future.

I wanted to keep the same tire height so I went with 275/40/17.
