wheel sizing ?

[collectskulls]

I am doing the rear conversion on my 06 vert
wondering if I will have handling issues with the stock 18x8.5 on the front and 19x12 on the rear.
Thanks

I am no C6 expert, but with 19x12" rear wheels, I think you will need the Z06 fender flares to keep the tires tucked in.

Like Chuck, I am not a C-6 expert either. In order to have the proper size tire to fit that 12" rim, I think Chuck is right. In order to maintain the proper stagger (difference in front and wheel overall diameters) you will be using a much wider tire than stock and you may need to increase your clearance as Chuck suggests. I would contact Luke at tire rack to see what the minimum tire size for that rim and work from there.

I am doing the rear zo6 fenders
Just wondering if it will effect the handling with stock z51 width on the front and the wider on the rear.

You will make a car that already has understeer tendency even more so.

Understeer

I agree

If you're doing it for looks or drag racing that might be a good thing. If you take it out on a road/autocross course it will push more than you will like.
