Default Z06 Wheel owners....in here

What size wheels and tires are you running?

I'm thinking about running some 18x9f / 18x10r and trying to get a feel for what size tires are best. Your thoughts???

OEM 18x10.5 front and back. 295/35-R18 Bridgestone S-02's all around. Fronts fit BETTER than the rears. The driver's side rear tire rubs slightly on the inner splash shield on big bumps.



Hmm, Hayward... Check out the Pacific section for monthly Bay Area GTG's. :seeya

I'm running 17"x9.5" on all four corners, which are the stock sizes for a '92. IIRC, the tires are 275-40's.

I just thought I'd let you know the aftermarket now makes 19" Z06 wheels!

Everything fits fine no rubbing.

I'm running 18x9.5 on all corners, with 275s. I use 1.25" spacers with my early C4 offset.
