Rims and tires c5 zo6
hey guys i have bin looking in to the c5 zo6 style rims, i know i want chrome and i want 17" all the way arround 18/r if i have to. i was thinking of 17x8.5/F 17x9.5/r(or 18x9.5/r) i dont know how big of an off set i can go on the rear without having problems/ need modifications. and i dont know if i sould go with a billit look or just plain rim( plain http://www.corvetteguys.com/c5z06-ch...eel-17x95.html, bilit http://www.corvetteguys.com/c5z06-ch...eel-17x85.html ) i just about set on rappin em in nittos they seem to be all that my buds and my brother ever trusted on street and drag for thier cars. but IDK im new to all this what do yall think?

That place is about twice as much as oewheels. Also, I'm not a fan of rivets, but that's just me.

with a 17x9.5 you should run a 275/40 in the front

I run 295s just fine. If you change your mind and like the black motor sport Z06 wheels then I will sell you mine for cheap...

That 295 “45” 18 is gonna be really thick on the side wall, you might wanna go with a 35 instead if you are lowered, otherwise it may rub. I dont think Nitto makes 295s in a 35 but they make a 305 which is definitely doable. Also I would go with the NT05R, for all out drag traction, or the 555R for great streetable z rated drag traction. Not that the NT05 is a bad choice just that for our straight line monsters the other two are better imo.

Ok now that I have looked around a little more, this is what I’m thinking
F 17X9.5 (has 54mm offset) with Firehawk Wide Oval 265/40/17
R 18X10.5 (has 56mm offset) With Firehawk Wide Oval 295/35/18
that gives me a 30mm diff on the back, ~1.5 inches
the firehawk tire’s UTQG is 320, trac AA, temp A
reviews show they can last 20K-40K miles under more aggressive driving, weekend drag type stuff, good for hot rodding around and daily driving.

well the tires should fit just fine with no problems aslong as the wheels tuck in their nicely. i just know on my c6 oem rims with a 56mm backspacing in the rear, i had to cut the bump stops.
