Default After searching the wheels forum...

i been looking for the wides rim/tire combo out back. Either 17x11 zr1 or 18x10.5 c5zo6. i guess it probably all come down to price since my car is a v6. anyways, so far ive seen 335/30/18 and a 335/17 but all on coupe cars. just wondering if any vert guys are running these meats. oh and the 335/17's are the gsd3 series. suppose to be the widest.

You dont need 18's for a v6 .... Get some zr1's and call it a day. Summitomo has a 315 tire that is cheap and not a bad tire at all.

wheels and tires are rotating mass. You should be looking for the lightest combo possible. If you increase the total weight your V6 will be Slower and the braking distances will increase. If she looks great but can't perform, well that's not good no matter what the subject is.

Pay attention boys and girls. Those are great words of wisdom.
