Spyder Z06 wheels on my Z28

**z28punk** · 05-25-2011, 08:30 PM

I decided to be different and get the 2009-present Corvette spyder Z06 wheels.

the design was similar to the snowflake wheels I had. I liked those. only problem was that they were 16's and 8 inches wide.

got these put on today

im still 4x4'in, but that will be fixed soon enough. I needed new tires badly. I was driving on 0/32 of all season Kumho's

I posted this on LS1tech as well, but I had a hard time finding pics of these wheels on an F-body when I looked into them. I want to help that.

Looks real good! I'm having a feel for those wheels, might have to get some as my wheels are boring me already

What size wheels and tires you running?

**z28punk** · 05-25-2011, 08:51 PM

18x8.5 in front and 19x10 in back.

I got Nitto Invo tires. 265 front/285 rear. I love how smooth they ride. they were worth the big bucks I paid for them. lots of tread to start with too.

I went with the 19 in back because I think 18's look too small in the large wheel opening we have. I thought this filled it up much better. its almost flush with the side of the rear fenders too. I cant wait to see what it looks like after the drop

The rears look alot meatier than 285's

got any rear shots yet?

**z28punk** · 05-25-2011, 09:30 PM

im going to take some tomorrow. I tried taking one with it in the garage just now. there isnt enough light to see the wheels under the car.

I have the same set up on my ss... Love those spyder wheels I am actually running 305 in the rear

They look good.

**Never-Enough** · 05-26-2011, 05:35 PM

not bad. similar to 10 spoke SS wheels.

**cammed goat** · 05-26-2011, 07:41 PM

I like them. They do look like a streamlined SS 10 spoke design as posted above.

19's...nice. I'm a sucker for the oversize wheelz. Must be my age. When I was a kid all the models I built had huge by large. I'm lookin for polished 20" C5z06's. Everybody on this site seems to dislike anything over 17". They're okay, I mean I have 17's on one and 18's for the other but want I really want is 18's in front and 20's out back. Hell I'd take 22's if I thought I could find them and if I could tuck them up far enough.

Well...the only thing you have to be concerned about with anything over 18s is the possibility of a blowout and bending the wheels when driving over potholes or speed bumps.
