Default 18 inch track wheels for C5Z06

What is the hot setup for the C5 Z06 in an 18 inch rim at all 4 corners?

18x10 F ?
18x11 R ?

Looking to run a 275 in the front and and a 315 rear.


thanks

Default 18x10.5 all around works well

I've used R888 295-30/18 F and 315-30/18 rear with stock rear Speedlines and that works well at the track on an oterwise stock C5Z. In autocross I think 315 all around would work better.

David,

Shouldn't be a prob running the 18x11 front and 18x12 rear CCW's with the T1 setup.

OEM speed line C5Z06 rears are 18x10.5

Would you be able to go 18x11 all the way around, and be able to rotate front to rear in addition to side to side? Or will the off-set be different?

Very very expensive to beat four stock rear wheels for the C5Z. The stock ones are pretty light, and inexpensive. To get better than this, you would be buying some custom ones from CCW or Kodiak or something.

So is the set up stock 18x10.5 all the way around?

How much are the speedlines?

thanks

The stock set up for a c5 zo6 is 17x9.5 in the front and 18x10.5 in the rear.

The c5 coupe/vert is 17x8.5 and 18x9.5 in the rear.

House of wheels sells the gm speedline wheels. They are a vendor here. I checked the websit but did not see any prices. If you check the parts for sale there is always z06 rears for sale or post a wtb thread and you will probably have a set fairly quick.
