With the right bolt-ons, it would be easy to have a car that can run as good as a ZL1 on almost any track. It won't be difficult to get a higher power to weight ratio on a 1LE, than on a stock ZL1. If that happens, bigger rear tires will make it much more fun to drive.
Sorry if this is a lame question, haven't really looked into the wheels much, but why would the rear wheels have to be different than the front wheels if they were both 20x10"?
