Hey There! I have a 2017 ZL1 that I purchased 2 months ago. It's time for wheels. I am cross-shopping a few different brands and setups, one of them is yours. I'm also specifically shopping 19's as of recent, but I've come across a problem in finding tires in the sizes I'm looking for. Above you stated there are more options for tires in 19', but I'm finding the opposite. Please guide me in where I need to look. I would like to run a thicker sidewall, 35 series instead of 30. Ride quality and less rotational weight would be my main factors in considering 19's over 20's. In our cars it seems that you can't run a 35 Series tire without rubbing (at least for certain. Some were successful, some were not). Ideally, I'd pick up a set of your wheels in 19×10 in the front, and 19x11 in the rear. I'd like to run 285/35/19 tires in the front and 305/35/19 tires in the rear. When I look up that fitment on tirerack, the only tires that pop up are Michellin Cup 2's (great tires as I've had them in the past, but not what I'm looking for in my daily ZL1). I know you guys love your squared setup, but that's just not for me. I can see the reason for a squared setup on my wife's F30 335i (which I personally did not opt for squared when buying wheels and tires for her car), but I really don't like the idea of squared for a 6th Gen. Any idea on sizing options for tires, and proper fitment for wheels? The EC-7 would likely be my choice, although pricing could sway me to ARC-8.
