Z06 DRs -Size? Type? Best Place to Buy?

JADVette94 · 05-12-2004, 08:26 PM

I think my rear Z06 wheels are 18 by 10.5. The stock tires are 295s, but I would like to put 315 BFG DRs on if that can be done. According to the BFG computer (at Costco) the 315s need an 11 to 12 inch rim. Can I squeeze 315s on? Are BFG g-force TA DRs the way to go (these are the new ones with the new tread pattern and are supposed to be better than the Comp TAs). Also, Costco doesn't carry that size, so where would be the best place to pick up a set? Thanks.

Hmm...maybe this should have been put in the "tires and wheels" section. Anyone know how to move it? Thanks.

Can answer part of your question. Some Z06 guys are running 315.35.17 BFGs mounted on the 9.5x17 Z06 wheels. And they do quite well with no issues reported.

I run 315.35.17 BFGs Comp TA DRs mounted on 12"x17" CCW wheels. And they give consistent low 1.7X 60' and an occasional mid 1.6X. But I haven't seen any comparo between that tire and the newer 315.30.18.

Once source of BFG DRs (I've used) is http://www.tirerack.com which is, I beleive, a sponsor of the Forum.
