Absolutely... that's what this thead is all about. Getting some DRs on the ZL1.

Doesn't hurt to match up with the front for looks too. I drove around with my DRs on half the time because I didn't want to swap them out again to go back to the track. A matched set with 17 or 18's would be nice.

Just get these and paint them to match the black ZL1 wheels:

I've already got these... An exact replica match is what we are after here.

Will those fit front and back on the ZL1? I'm looking to use for roadracing.

I wouldn't use these for road racing. you're way better off with your stock tires for that.

Trying to find a lower cost option for roadracing. The stock rims and tires are a little pricy.

But you already have the wheels on...

[firecross91]

Yes but I hope to run many laps at Watkins Glen next year and would like to have a purpose built tire to use instead of destroying the F1's

OK Understand... but keep in mind if you get replica wheels there will be added weight.

[firecross91]

Understand thanks.

I can't seem to get an answer. There appears to be two widths for the C5 Z06 18 inchers. Which one clears the rear brembos 9.5 or 10.5 or both. I understand the front 18 inch C6 wheels will clear the brakes as well and maybe they are only 9.5. Don't really know. I believe the offset is 58mm, is that correct? Other than the e brake tie back are there any other clearance issues?
