I am getting rims and tires this summer and i'm trying to be economical. i plan on lowering my car with the eibach prokit series later so keep that in mind. I was looking on ebay and found this set up:

What do you guys think? Will 265/35 tires work on a set of 18X9.5 inch rims? Will the set up work with my car lowered? Do you guys forsee any problems that i will run into? etc.....

thanks for all your help guys.

 

use that search feature. Those Y2k's have been talked about A LOT. They look pretty sharp.

 

yeah i know about that....i was wondering more about buying them off of ebay and if thats a safe thing to do. i also don't know if a 265/35 tire will work well with an 9.5 inch wide tire. thanks for any help.

 

The best tire for those rims is a 275/35/18. That will give you the same diameter as a stock tire and rim.

 

wheels will look good but the tires should be 275/35/18

 

looking sweet.....but ya ia gree 275 is the way to go

 

275 no doubt... they should bolt right on though. And i agree u wont like the centercaps

 

hmmmm, i say to forget the y2k wheels and get some 18x9.5 chrome Z06 wheels !!!

 

they would be going on a 96 z28.

is there any reason other than to keep the stock diameter for putting 275s rather than a 265? cause if not then i will just get the computer reprogrammed. what would be the difference between a 265 and a 275 visually, etc...?

so you guys don't like the center caps why? is it cause the symbol is for vettes? should i just get a plain centercap?

let me know what you guys think. i appreciate all your help.

thanks

 

i would keep the corvette centers on there, its a very suttle way of letting everyone know that you have a modded Z. anyway the Z and corvettes are cousins/ its not like theres a galiping pony on there or something!

 

Good deal are they new or used? You can buy plain chrome center caps at aftermarket wheel companies that sell replica y2k vette wheels.

 

anyone else on the questions about 275 or 265 and why to go with 275's instead of 265's?

they are new to anser your question killerTA

thanks again.
