Default Need QUICK help on wheel/tire and size/selection!....

I just today found out that I am going to need to get no less than two new tires...

So, while I am at it, I'm going to go all-out and get new wheels too

But...I want 315's, as they are all the rage...

And I also want the Tomzwheels chrome zo6's, especially since they are on sale for April.

But depending on who you talk to, 315's don't fit on a 10.5 inch wheel

So.... If anyone can point me in the direction of affordable zo6 wheels that will be guaranteed to fit 275's up front and 315's out back, I will be most appreciative.


I need my awnser preferably by tomorrow.

315's will fit on a 10.5" wheel. If you are getting a 10.5" Z06 wheel, you have the following to choose from:

295-35-18 / All your street tires are going to be here, also the cheapest.

305-35-18 / You can run a Nitto drag radial in this size, great traction.

315-30-18 / The street tires in this category are going to be really expensive and you also have the choice of BFG's drag radial, but that tire will not last very long.

Oh and...

Would the paint on the black z06 motorsports from Tomzwheels start chipping or flaking off after a while? :\

And are the "chrome" z06's real chrome, or polished aluminum?...

I remember reading somewhere before on here that they aren't actually chrome...?

My brother got his Z06 wheels from TomZ and they are really nice... and really chrome. Just make sure you order chrome NOT polished. Usually both are available finishes.
