Tire Rack says,,, NO to C5 Z06 rims says they will fit but not exact and may wobble. They have Toyo Proxes TQ's -315 35 18 and 18" rims for $878. (don't know about the TQ's  )
Summit Racing ,,,,has 18X10 Torque Trust 2 wheels 5 3/4 offset and Nitto 555- 305 40 18 tires total $936. But will not guarantee they will fit and not take them back once mounted and balanced.
Discount Tire,,,,TSW wheels 5x120 18" and Nitto 05 - 315 40 18 for $1173 (too much $)
Please help me decide or if any of you have any ideas I would appreciate the help.
Thanks ahead of time |
Man you really do need help. Just say no to nittos unless they are NT05R's. Mickey Thompson ET streets are also one of the best. Also the hoosier DOT Drag radial 2. Those are real DRs for the strip. And you do not drive on them on the street unless you will be in warm sunshine weather only. Rain is a death sentence to these tires.
DONT get the nitto 555 or the like. I have seen plenty of friends just skate on those at even the best prepped tracks. MTs or the Nitto NT05Rs are where its at. Try to run an 18" also if you can.
