On a set of Z06 wheels. 275/45/17s. Just getting the rear wheels with the drags. $175. SOunded like good deal. Will have to look for a set of wheels for the front. Chrome ones. Picking them up this evening. Are these pretty good tires??

 

Do you mean the 555R? In general, the Nittos rate a bit lower in track traction than the M/T and BFG drag radials. But they are probably better for street use and tread wear than either of those.

I think you mean 275/40-17.

 

Cost looked good and will be mostly road driving. I believe your right on both. Pics look like 555Rs, and I couldnt find 45s listed on Nitto site, so assume he got that mixed up. Shouldnt be any prop with these on my 96 z28?

 

How much wider are these then the stock wheels? Just from the looks, seems to maybe be couple inches.

 

Depends which Z06 (C5 or C6?) wheels you are referring to, and whether they are factory wheels, or aftermarket replicas.

The C5 Z06 factory wheels were:

Front: 17 x 9.5" 54mm offset
Rear: 18 x 10.5" 58mm offset

Stock 4th Gen V8 model wheels are 16 x 8.0" 55mm offset

Stock 4th Gen SS/WS6 coupe wheels are 17 x 9.0" 50mm offset

Not likely they are C6 Z06 wheels, since they are 18" in front and 19" in the rear.
