As for your new wheels you can fit 11's in the back if you want. Check out OE Wheels, they are when of the sponsors on here and they have some really nice replica wheels for a great price!

are the replica wheels going to be cheaper than the oem wheels? are the oem wheels harder to find and thats why everyone gets replicas or is there a weight difference? trying to decide if i should wait it out and by original stock z06 rims for example or if replicas are better. I was thinking 17's up front and 18's out back. so 18x11 out back, or can I get away with 18x10.5 with a wide tire? how about front...17x?? obviously VERY new to this! i read the wheel and tire thread but it was a little confusing for me. THANKS AGAIN!

sounds good and I have BFGoodrich G-force T/A 275/40ZR17 tires all the way around. Does anyone know how wide those are? are they the 9.5? and also the previous owner has put eibach springs on it and I went on their site and it looks like it may be the pro-kit since the springs are black. Does anyone know what size rim would look the best on these cars? I want 18's or stagger 17/18 but what width f/r and does anyone have any problem with the car following the crown of the road?
also, if i come across some rims that have the chevy logo on them(corvette rims), is that considered ok in the T/A world? haha All the ones Ive seen have the blank center and if its kinda looked down on then obviously i wanna stay away from them.
