Re: anyone with OEM ZO6 wheels?? I had to cut the braket that the little rubber bump stops mount to (that limit the rearend travel) and I then installed a 1/4" spacer to get a little more room. The bumber was time consuming but the traction is worth everything.

OEM Z06 wheels with kumho 265/40-17's up front, and 275/35-18 in the rear. you could probably fit a 285 tire on there too with no problems but not sure on that.

Re: anyone with OEM ZO6 wheels?? Steve - Where did you purchase your wheels at? I'm looking to get some, though I'm not sure that I want chrome. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that I read somewhere that your wheels are 18". Any regrets about going to that instead of 17"? I've only been able to find polished Z06 wheels at Polished ZO6 Wheels but I haven't heard anything about the quality.
Also, Lynda, where did you purchase your wheels? I talked to the parts guy at the local dealership; he stated that they were $3000 each. I'm sure that I could get them cheaper elsewhere like SDPC but I couldn't find them.
Thanks to everyone for the input!

I bought mine for $1100 and then spent $800 on tires for them. I actually got lucky to find a place that does dealer trades, so they sent the chrome ones to the dealer and the dealer sent the OEM ones to this place i got them from right around the time i was looking so the guy hooked me up with them. i will PM you the info to contact this person.
