Z06 idea.....

What do you think about having a 18 x 10.5 Z06 rim in the back with 17 x 9.5 in the front?

Does anyone have this done on their F-body?

Reason why I was asking this is because my 17" Z06's look too small in the back. I wanted to fill up the wheel gap. So what do you think? If you have this crazy idea already on your car..ha ha I wanna see!!!!

18x9.5 up front and 18x10.5 in the rear is what I'll be doing next year. IMO a 17 up front and 18 in rear would look stupid. But by all means go ahead and try it.

Why is this a crazy idea? The sizes you mentioned are the factory sizes on a Z06 Vette. Lots of people already have that setup. Personally I would go 18s all around, oh wait I did. Actually my next set of rims will be 18x10.5 in the front and 19x11 in the rear Z06 motorsport rims.

I thought It would be crazy bcuz it would be on a camaro instead of a corvette. I wasn't sure how the rear would look with 18's. I don't think you would be able to notice a total "stick out like a soar thumb" appearance but I think it would look alright with a bigger wheel to fill that wheelwell. I could of sworn I saw a LS1 SS with 18' Z06 on the rear and 17's on the front when I was at Sac speedway once. The car caught my eye cuz the rear Z06's looked bigger. I didnt get a chance to look at it good enough. That's what gave me the idea for a 18' in the rear. I have 17's and now I want to go with 18's..kinda thinking about selling the 17"s but if 18's look sick in the back ..i'll just get em for the back. I might try fit a 18 inch rim and see how it looks first Anyways...just thought I'd check with you guys to see what you thought and see if anyone had done this on a LT1/LS1 camaro. I was also wondering how that would affect my suspension as far as lining everything up, handeling/cornerning. My suspension is stock right now unfortunately.

BTW ...Hey Zack..nice ride bro!

Tires_Smokin check this other thread, lots of people have 20s on their Camaro's. Paul will be the first on the board with 20 inch Z06 rims though.
