make a list...
how much for 2 front wheels (call oe wheels)
4 tires

try selling your wheels see how much you can get for them. maybe when you see if you see the cash difference it will be an easier decision.

imo you are stalled, nitrous,and the car is a moster! those 11'' wheels with 315s will be perfect 10.5'' also fit 315 but bulge and don't put as much contact patch as a 11'' wheel
and wont feel as guilty when burning out on cheaper tires lol

Yup! I've already done this haha. I saw where i can get 2 fronts to match for $121 each. I found some tires for the front used but in good condition 275/40/17's for $105! and sumitumo htrz's are like $98 each. If i did the math right i'd have like $200 left, or something like that haha. But i don't think i'd go with the htrz's, i need a drag radial or better yet I want to put 335/35/17 Hoosiers on the back

From your sig pic it looks like you have a 275 on the Z06's, are they 18x9 or 18x10.5? If they are a 9", ZR1's no doubt. Wider is always better IMO, looks and hooks.

Also, don't be misled by the price of sumi's, theres a reason they are so cheap. A good street tire in a 315+ is not cheap, but if you go w/ drag radials they are usually much cheaper than a decent street tire.

the Z06's are 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 in back, 275's front and 295's rear.

You already have the Z06 wheels, and the two rear ZR1 wheels, which you have to get tires for anyways...soooooo why don't you just buy the two 17x9 ZR1 fronts and a set of tires, and swap them out whenever you want to change it up.

I actually have 3 ZR1's now. I got a 17x9 the other day for $56 brand spankin new. Now i'm waiting to get a deal on the other front one as well.

I'm not going to keep both sets of wheels. I already have a buyer for the Z06's but i just need to get the 4th wheel and some tires before i complete the deal.
