Oh I see let us know once you get a chance to do that
Also, you might want to ask forum member "RideZX6R" about the lowering springs. He recently put some Eibach springs and ended up reinstalling the stock springs because of the softer ride. I personally would never change the OEM springs because the whole MRC suspension tuning is based on that but each his own of course

Also happy to report that despite the tires sticking out in the front, I had zero rock chips. I have the ZL1 rock guards and ppf on the rockers and full front fenders. I didn't even see any significant impacts despite 120+ mph on the road course and plenty of auto x.

why are these offering you such a better performance tire rim vs your stock?

Because they aren't 20s... A lot more tire options at 19.

ok ok so who's getting a set
glamcem looking forward to your pics of 325s mounted on your apex 19x11s once you get them. These Z28 rims and 305s F/325s R might be just the setup Im looking for. Unless MRR comes out with something comparable..

Keep in mind the Z/28 stockers are top drawer properly forged Alcoa wheels made in Italy...and for the price almost nothing comes close if you care about proven quality. I need to look at the F vs R track width a bit closer but they might just be the ticket for a dedicated track set.

Alcoas were a set I was considering for our ram dually lol since some came with them oem. Would've never guessed these rims are made by them also. Where are people buying these z28 rims? I read they are about $2500 set? Possibly get them repainted matte black

2500 without tires is about right. I was toying with selling these at one point, but all I dealt with where low ballers who said "youre asking too much, these are going for less than 2500 with tires." All because one guy sold a used set for dirt cheap. One good deal doesn't move the price point for the entire country. Just keep an eye on the classifieds. They come up.

OP: when you said the R poke 17mm and F poke 22mm "extra" - does it mean the F poke 17+22=39mm in total? So a total of 44mm wider F track vs R - is that correct?
thanks in advance for clarifying it.

This was what I originally wanted to do but now since I plan on running AS for Auto Cross there no point since you can't have wider wheels, may still go to a 19" wheel though.

I meant in comparison to stock wheels.

Thanks but to clarify the F poke just 22mm beyond stockers? or 17+22mm? If only 22mm and R is 17mm the delta F to R would only be 5mm of poke? That seems way too low given how much F pokes in the pix...
