www.tomzwheels.com, theyre a sponsor.

go 18" all around. 9.5 up front, 10.5 out back. 19/18 even looks good but they dont sell those.

halos are on ebay for $140 shipped.

Tomzwheels doesnt sell mismatched? Dman I coulda sworn they did. Oh well.

I wonder if you called them and asked if they could do it, they would. They have great customer service. Just a thought...

I agree, Corvettes are made to have mismatched sizes but not F-bodies. Go 18x9.5 and 18.10.5

I agree, do the 18x9.5 in the front with 275's and do the 18x10.5 in the back with 295's. It will give it a sick lookin staggered look that you wont be disappointed with.

who281, go to corvette's of Houston off I-45 and they supply z06 replicas for good prices. Since you live in Katy it shouldn't be that far of a drive. That's where I got mine also and they also sell mismatched rim sizes.
