It would appear so for those of us who routinely get the tires up into the fenders.

Strano indicated that the rear axle moves laterally far less with the Watts link vs. PHB, which would help maintain clearance, once you get them to fit...

Any more info? Good Thread..

 

I had c6 Z06 wheels on my TA. I got a sledge hammer and banged my wheel wells. I also got my fender cut. I regret doing it, but it looked damn sexy.

 

I just put C6 Z06 replicas on mine 18x10.5 w/ 58mm backspacing fits great......they cleared with my 315 Pirelli's but I made a little extra room to be safe and no rubbing even in high speed turns with a sagging suspension. I don't know if this helps at all but I thought I'd post up some info anyways.......Anyone know was OEM backspacing is?

 

10.5 all the way around? Did you need to use spacers for the fronts?

 

no sorry they're 17x9.5's with 275's up front, I forgot to mention that.

 

I told you guys I had some pics of my friend's 98 Z w/ OEM vette wheels. 345/30/19 rears with no spacers.

 

 

wow, tucked in nice. very impressive, it seems unusual there are no rubbing/fitment issues though. looks real good from the rear

 

They are nice and tucked! That's with eibach drag-launch springs, too.

 

Wow.. that really looks like the size that should have been on there from the start!

Talk about an OEM fitment!

 

Those pics are nice !

 

How is the drive abillity? when i had my 335 they did rubb as son as i cornered, even though i have done BFH and rolled fender.

 

Perfect driveability for him. He does corner hard sometimes, but like I said, it is mostly a drag set-up suspension so he doesn't really flog it around too much. My 315's rubbed on my 97 Z28 as I slung it around corners, but I kept the EXACT set of wheels for my SS and my 315's don't touch anything anytime now. Just supports the every-car-is-different theory.

 

Wooow They are nice ..

 

It looks good except it looks like he has two different tires on the rear.

 

That's because he does. He got those tires for $80 a piece. Both are Michelin Pilot Sports, just different treads. I'd rock mis-matched tread for that cheap.

 

new those are like 450 a piece totally way too much

 

good thread
