What I'm trying to find out is what is the widest 18 inch wheel we can ut on the back.

Also, Is it possable to get 19 inch rims for the rear and if so, how wide.

18's for looks...they also help in your cornering capabilities...but you lose on straight line...

My 18" Z06s will be at my doorstep by the end of today. The widest anyone I know of has gone is 11" out back. I've only seen Z06s in 18x9.5 though. 11" needs some clearancing and a nice fat tire on it.

get some 18's and save your stockers or buy some welds for racing. That's what I'm doing

I have some 17 x 11 ZR1's now.

I wonder if there is an 18 * 10.5 inch ZO6 wheel. I think you can out those on all four corners to allow you to rotate.

as a matter of fact, there is. I think Discount Tire Co. is a distributor to the company that makes them. I think, in fact they are "replica wheel" company

I would go at least 19's in the rear and 18's up front. But without ground effects, 18's on all 4 would look good too.

I have 18x9.5 upfront and 19x10.5 out back with a Pro kit.

But for the street I prefer 17's OR smaller with a larger profile tire.

I've got 17's on my Z. I'm sure the 18's would look cooler, but the 17's are fine by me.

That is a nice set up. Do you mind if I ask how much cost? Also, are you suggesting that the 19;s might be a little TOO big in the back from a look perspective?
