I bought some Z06 Wheels. 17x8.5 and 18x9.5.

What size tires should I look for? Any brands I should look for? I want the fatest tire in the rear and pretty thick up front for cornering. Thanks.

NOTE: Links would help too

You bum!!

I haven't gotten my Z06 rims yet. Heck, I don't even have my calipers yet. Oh well.

I believe OE tires were 265/40/17 and 295/35/18 on the 17x9.5 and 18x10.5. I think I'd go with a 285/35/18 in the back, and a 245/45/17 in the front for looks. Either way.

BTW, thought you were saving up for a bike? Money burning a hole in your pocket?

i just got the same size y2k wheels

245/45/17 up front
275/40/18 in back


that is, of cource, you want the same size as the C5's, otherwise, i would go with the 35 on the backs, but i also wouldnt have gotten the 17's up front either

 

After researching, those are the sizes I'm going for. All except the 255--I might do 275. Either way though, where did you order yours and how much were they?

I don't think I'm responsible enough for a mid 10-sec bike. Plus Mom isn't too hot on the idea. Email me sometime, haven't spoken at ya' in a while.

oe wheels

575 shipped...

 

Sweet! I searched but couldn't find their website, mind linking me?

How do 555's compare to the Kuhmo Supra 712's? I can get a full set for $600 shipped off www.TireRack.com

 

The 555's are going to hook 10 times better than the 712's, but they'll also wear out 10 times faster.

 

That's what I thought, 712's it is then....

 

Dang, the 712's were going to be $604 Shipped from www.TireRack.com

Went to the local Tire Kingdom and got them, plus mounting and balancing and it was $607 OTD. Talk about sweet!

I'll let you guys know how they are next week.
