i just ordered black z06 rims... 18 x 1o.5 rear and 17 x 9.5 rear.

I dont know what wheels to get. i really know nothing about wheels. What exactly am i looking for? size and all that

 

Don't get your post???????? You don't know what wheels to get but you just order the Z06 wheels?????????? Black Z06 are nice.

 

Maybe he means tires?

I agree, the black Z06 wheels are nice, but I personally dont dig the ones with the rivets. I was also thinking of getting black zo6 wheels but cant find them w/o rivets. So, im going with some black ZR1's, I think those look really nice too. Were You talking about tires? If so,for the front I would get 275/40R17 and for the rear I would get 305/35R18 or maybe 315/35R18.

 

yeah sorry, i meant tires

 

does everyone else agree?

 

for DD

 

this is pissin me off....

i've called about 20 places, one of 2 things are happening

1. they dont have the tire in stock
2. they all try to figure out what size tire i need, and everyone has given me somthing different

someone help.. and if anyone knows of anyplace between lancaster and phildelphia, PA that might have these tires in stock, please jot down their number.. thanks

 

so i called tomz and got the tire specs... finally found a place that can install them for me, but the guy tells me that the load bearing capacity on these tires is way less then the stock tires and he has to look into it a little further.

is it really that important or should i just go ahead and get the tires installed... someone please help

 

i've got those same rims...275/40zr17 in the front 275/35zr18 in the rear kuhmo ecsta supras, they are cheap and really good IMO. you'll need a 1/4" spacers for those rears, search there is alot of stuff on it. (assuming you didn't know already )

 

I think the people you are calling are making it harder than it needs to be. Go to Discount Tires site and do a search there. I would probably do 275's for the fronts and 295-315's in the rear.

 

I had the EXACT same rims, for the tire sizes I went with:

275/40/17 front (kumho supra 712's)

295/35/18 rear (BFG drag radials)

 

I gotta see this thing thrusday man.

 

I have the alum Z06 rims, the tire size you need it 265/35/18.
toyo makes this tire for about $220 each

 

thanks, but i already ordered the wheels before i got this...

i got the 255/40R17 front and 285/40R18 rear so i guess i have to get the spacers..1/4" in will still be ok right?

which is another pain, but i guess it'll all be worth it. i hope the tire shop has some in stock, or ill be running all over creation tomorrow tryin to find those things....

 

i just need a 5lug pattern 1/4" spacer right? say from like pep boys?
