2002 w C6 wheels??

Hi Gang. Wondering if I can put 19 inch vette wheels all the way around my WS6. I had 18 vettes on it with no issues. Has anyone tried this? What size tire if so? Thanks

Take the tire height and size of the 18s and get s baseline for what you need. Talk to a tireshop also

I ran OEM C6 19x10's all the way around with 1.25" adapters and 275/30/19 tires. Couldn't get traction with such a small sidewall and the ride was ROUGH. I didn't have them on long because the looks weren't worth the sacrifice IMO. I went to 275/35/18's all the way around and am MUCH happier. Several people on here say that 18's are really the largest wheel you should go with on a 4th Gen. F-Body and now that I've tried 19's, I have to agree!

Do a search with my username and I'm sure you'll find my posts with pics of the 19x10's al the way around...

OEM C6 5 spokes 19/18 staggered wheels would rub out back, against the fender well & control arm... This is because the Corvettes had a different offset than the Fbodies.
Solution was a 1.25" or 1.5" wheel adapter, and BFH mod for added insurance. It's fine now.
