20/20 wheel and tire combo help Hi to all guys ;
I am looking for a 20/20 for fronts and rears wheels & tires for a C5.But i have a hard time to find those sizes.18's and even 19's are not very hard to find .I saw some pictures about C5's and 20 inch wheels but i am not sure about they are p.shopped or not? I only saw one C5 with a 19/19 combo and thats it.
I like this set : http://www.weldevo.com/CorvetteAxisHome.html
But as far as i understand they dont have 20's for front <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> And its a real problem beacuse brake calipers are almost touching the front 18 wheels (even with a little grinding mod on the calipers)a little more than 1 mm space!
So i want a set of 20 inch wheels but are they possible to use in fronts?Or am i day dreaming?
Also anybody knows other brand of wheels for a Vette & 20 inchers?(Other than HRE brand..whic is almost on every vette over here i am looking for a different set up)
Here is a pricing and size list for weld :

Re: 20/20 wheel and tire combo help Unless you have larger than stock brakes 18" wheels are fine. There are a whole host of mfgs. who make 18-20" wheels which will fit a Vette. A few that come to mind are
HRE
Fikse
BBS
Hickock
CCW
iForged
American racng and others have wheels in a 5 on 4.75 bolt pattern, all you have to verify is the offset you want. As for a Weld EVO. It doesn't look like from their literature that they have a 19" or a 20" for the front. Have you called them to ask though? Sometimes folks are a bit slow on website updates.

Re: 20/20 wheel and tire combo help J-Rod:Thank you very much for your reply <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> .Problem is : discs are the biggest ones (15 inch & 6 piston calipers)
I ve called the Weld today but i have a hard time to find anybody that answers my questions so my firend(who lives in the USA) called them for me to find out... and as you said they have only 18's for front and they wont give us a address for their dealers!They say search and you ll find .So i have to look other manufacturers and ill search every brand.Problem is i nearly checked every sponsors web site for a set of wheels and i searched tirerack and a lot of others to find out what they have for me..but at the end i came up with nothing <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
Thanks!
