The lower sidewall in the rear was the biggest difference I noticed. It rides a little rougher is all but not that bad. I could switch and go with a 35 after this if I want. Have to wait and see.

Congrats on those rims. They look absolutely killer with the SOM!
I too have a SOM WS6 which I’m babying to high heaven. Before I pull the trigger on the S71’s 18’s, do you have any advice looking back on your tire size, spacing, etc?
Thanks

None what so ever dude! I wouldn't change anything about the wheels or tires. Go to my Instagram @ws6_3392 to see more pictures. Send me one of yours too.

What sizes and offsets did you get?
I am thinking of going with 19x11 on the rear and 19x9.5 on the front for my 99 Z28. I am alittle concerned if the offsets will clear my CTS-V Brembo's.
The 19x11 has a 70mm offset though. Will that fit in the rear wheel hub without modification?

Also what tire sizes did you go with?
Hate to be a copy cat but unfortunately with work I don't really have alot of free time to do my own research and need to get my car back in one piece asap.

I think you will be fine with them. I am getting ready to put Baer big brake kit on. They are 13" Front Pro+ brakes for the front, and 13" SS4+ brakes for the rear. I put Falken Azenis RT660 285/30 ZR18 front, and Falken Azenis RT660 315/30 ZR18 rear.

Also what happens if I go 9" on the front and 11" on the rear? Will that cause any problems in terms of handling?

I have never had an issue. I don't think you would have any problems, but why wouldn't you go a head and run a 10 inch on the front?

Thank you! I did get them ceramic coated before I mounted my tires. So much easier to clean not just the outside but inside as well.

When I got my wheels back from the detail shop I thought they didn't coat them because they didn't feel anywhere as smooth as the wheels I coated for wifey's car. But while putting on a new rear brake line someone forgot to tighten it the whole way and coated the inside of wheel
Happy to say the ceramic coating did it's job!
