****Guys w/ OEM C6 Wheels***** I need Help ASAP Allright I just purchased some OEM C6 wheels. They are 18"x8.5" front and 19"x10". I just bought the correct spacers for the rear and now I need to know what tires you guys are running with these wheels. I need to know brand, size, price, best place to buy them. I want ro run width wise a 245 on the front, but how tall should I go? On the rear I want to go as wide as possible, what width are you guys running and what heighth? My car is not lowered and If i do lower it, the drop will be no more than an inch. I need to get these wheels on ASAP. I just don't want to order a tires for them and they not fit. So Give me some good detailed info and pics of what tires you OEM C6 people are running, thanks.

I didn't like the look at all of the staggered 18"/19" combo on F-Bodies. However, before I sold my front 18's to buy another set of 19's, I was going to run 255/35/18's on the front and 275/30/19 on the rear....mayber a 285/30/19.
I ended up running 275/30/19 on all 4 corners though.
It was VERY hard to find one make and model of tire in both of those sizes! I ended up buying used of of eBay and the best I could do was 18" Michelin Pilot Sports on the front and Michelin Pilot Sport A/S on the rear. Once I decided to go with 19's all the way around, the tire choices increased greatly.
Oh, and lowering is going to be a must if you're going to run 19's on the rear...our cars look odd with that big of a rim on the rear and NOT lowered.

Yeah, I went with some Kuhmo Ecsta SPt's 245/40/18 front and 285/35/19 on the rear. I am happy with how they look, but as far as the 19 looking to big, I Definetly agree. It looks a little odd because the car sits soo high now. I think it will look great when I lower it. That is next on the egenda after a new clutch and some 4.10 gears. I am going to do it right and go with Koni/strano, so its going to probaby be next summer before I can lower it, but it should be worth the wait.
