Default New DR on my C6 Z06

Check it yall, what do ya think? I put on 17x11 rims with BFG 315/35/17 Drag Radials. I get to test em out this friday at the strip. (i know, they don't look quite as good as stock, but they're sticky as heck)

Cool deal! Too bad they dont make a 19" DR yet. On another note, something you might be interested in for the future. Guy in my town has a black c6 z06 just like yours and he ordered another pair or front rims, the 18's, and had them widened out to 12 or 13 by Weldcraft wheels. He threw on the BFG 345/30/18 DR and drives it around like that, looks bad, cant really tell it from stock but its super meat out back, a DR and stock rims. Just some food for thought if you ever want to run a DR ALL the time. Badass ride BTW!

dang, that's not a bad idea. i'd like to be on stock rims, i'll have to look into that. this wouldn't be an issue if they'd just make a 19" DR.

no problem. Looks cool on this Z06 and you can hardly tell its not from the factory, just 18's all around instead of 18/19's. And the 345 DRs in the rear are jaw dropping.
