Alrighties guys, quite a few questions in here.

I know there are the few, the pround that have done 19s/20s staggered setups on their F-body's and this past week I've seen an LS1 F-bod with 20s that was tastefully done.

I've been in lust with the CCW 505As, but was wondering how they would compare weight wise with a set of C6 Z06 Rear Wheels at all four corners. Let alone shopping for tires for 19 inch wheels alone would probably be tough.

Along with the larger wheels, I would obviously be forced to perform a brake swap from a Z06. Gonna have to swap a 12 bolt sometime before or after I break the 10 bolt, which I've wanted to do anyway.

So....any suggestions?

honestly it sounds like your already doubting the situation. when i bought my 19's it wasn't a price concern it was the size i needed to fit my brakes and the look of my build.

there are so many expenses that go into running large wheels on a car that if your already considering such things that you are wait 6 months and then if you still want them get them.

also personally staggered look doesn't fit an f body, they fit the corvette because it was built like that. the advantage on an f body is obviously saving the little bit of weight and wear/tear on your front setup but if you want a sweet looking ride fit your wheels to the build of the car.
