Rather then reinvent the wheel...

.....pun intended.

I'd like to go with some 19 on the back and 18 on the front. I like the chrome Z06 wheels. I currently have 17*11 ZR1's and a 315 tire. I have 'massaged the inner wheel well and although I have not had to roll the lip, I'm willing to do so. I have SLP lowering springs an adjustable panhard.

So my question is, how wide can I go.

I know that 10.5 on the front are possable, but can I put 11 inch * 19 on the back?

I know it seems selfish, but rather then spend hours trying to find the answer to this question, I thought I would just ask it here. Thanks guys.

i dont think most people ar e going any wider the 275 on the rear with that height. you could do with a 10 inch wheel. i know johnny found Z06 wheels in a 19 but ifound them in a 20 also which would look sweet 19's front 20's rear. pm me if you want and ill find the company for you.

These are the wheels I was looking at. the 18 /9 combo but as I say, I'm unsure about fit.

18/19 chrome Z06

ROFL!!!

Pt I feel you on the rims, I have been thinking about why even 18s look tiny on our cars and I think it has to do with ground effects. Cars without ground effects can get away with 17s and 18s but you put gfx on and all of sudden your 17s and 18s look tiny. Maybe its just me but I know I want some biggers rims. I am dying to see what those 20 inch z06 rims will look like on your car, post some pics as soon as you get em!

OK I got more details on the 19 x 11 inch rims.

They have a 64 mm offset.

Now if I'm not mistaken I have the ZR1 rims with the GS offset and I think that is 50 mm Right?

If these 19 inch ZO6 rims have a 64mm offset, I assume that means the rim is 14 mm closer to the fender LIP right?

I'm pretty sure that would NOT work on my ride. I have the SLP lowering springs and I could probably allow 6 mm closer to the fender lip, maybe 10 if I were to roll the lip but 14mm would push things to much.

Am I correct in this understanding?
