help picking out rims

**STLz2000** · 05-26-2009, 07:51 PM

I am saving up money to get new rims. I am wanting 8' wide in front and 10' wide in the back. My budget is about $1,300 (without the tires). It is for a 2000 Z28 that is silver. Please leave your opinions

8' wide in front is too narrow go with 9.5 front and 11' rear, that would make it look tight!!!!!!!

im usually not a fan of c6 replicas, but these are sweet cuz of the lip, and this color would look good on silver.

i had a set of kumhos on the car when i got it, they were brand new and i took them off. one of the worst tires ive driven on. they rode decent, but didnt hook up for shit! got a set of BFG KDW's and i couldnt be more happy.

i think the tsw wheels are all good looking, but are all too narrow imo. if i get new wheels i want to be able to put some meats on them

**STLz2000** · 06-01-2009, 03:21 PM

ya im looking for some wide tires in the back so i can hook up on the streets and have them for the track when i do go down to GIR

You can get them in a 10.5" wide size, but you'll need a 20mm hub spacer (H&R has them) so you'll end up with a +45 offset which would be a perfect fit.
