Re: Pictures of Z06 wheels anyone?

Thanks i appreciate that. Whats funny is i use to not even care about appearance mods. Don't think i'm trying to contradict everything you say though. I just think 18's look way better but the tires do cost more. I've also had diff size front rims then the rears and it sucks because you can't ever rotate the tires. They may look good but they make maintance a pain. I like your Z too. I thought about the 69 Z28 emblems but i already have lots of light silver reflective decals so i don't know how the old chrome emblems would look with the others.

Hey Dude, what’s up! I see you’re still holding five stars in domain. Cars looking sweet! The 18' - Zo6's made a bid difference. Anyway, I must agree that the same size tires and rims, in this case 18’s, make for a better all-around look. Being able to rotate also helps the tires last longer.

Anyway, keep up the good work Bro. Check back sometime!

95 – Z28 Vert.

Re: Pictures of Z06 wheels anyone?

I am getting those same rims for my green 95 camaro vert... I am getting a bit different size tire though... 18x9.5 rims (+56mm offset). with 265/35 ZR18 tires... now I am nervous that they won't fit in the wheel well. as yours are 275/35/18. My car isn't lowered at all so I have my fingers crossed. The place said that they would fit.. BUT YOUR CAR LOOKS AWSOME .. I CANT WAIT TO PUT THEM ON MY CAR

I don't know who you're talking to but i have 275/35/18's on my car and they fit. I believe they are 56mm offset too. I bought them used though so i'm not for sure.

Also thanks djn. I appreciate the comments. I wouldn't have my Z06's if it wasn't for seeing your car with them.

Re: Pictures of Z06 wheels anyone?

is there that much difference between the 275 and the 265? I am a tire dummy.. is the 275 or 265 wider? sorry for all the confusion.. just nervous about dropping that much cash and seeing a difference...

thanks

The 275 is the width, so its wider than the 265. I believe the 275 is the width measured in mm.

275's won't be a problem on a 95 vert. My 95 is lowered and they still fit just fine... Plus the handling with 275's is much better.
