I'm stuck between a square 20x9.5 setup (Konig Interflow) or 20x10 (TSW Sprint). I'm not looking to do customs on this car right now... You said the TSW's are around 28lbs. The Konig's I saw listed at 25.9lbs somewhere. Know anything better? |

Can I reuse the factory TPMS on a new wheel? Or do I need new sensors?

I've been looking for a set of rear wheels and tires to run at the drag strip. I've taken a lot of measurements and done a ton of research. I think I've figured out what tires I need but can't seem to find decent wheels at a reasonable price. Can you help?
I've posted the below thread with what I've done and what I've found so far but no one seems interested. 6th Gen ZL1 Drag Strip Wheel & Tire Options Wheels: Ideally, I'd like the wheels to match or be very close to the stock style and color - just in 18x12 size to allow for taller (flexible) sidewall. I'm pretty sure the bolt pattern is the common 5x4.75 but I only measured 2 13/16" between centers on the lugs so I guess I don't understand something. Minimum Wheel Diameter: 18 inches A 2-inch reduction in rim diameter would bring the inside circumference 1" closer to the caliper, leaving 1/4" clearance - assuming similar construction to stock rims. Maximum Wheel Backspace: 8 inches Backspace of 7 5/8 inches for the stock rims leaves at least 2-inches of clearance from all brake and suspension components. However, with stock rim/tire combo there is only about 1 inch of clearance at the fabric lining inside the fender well on the forward, inboard corner. This corner is shaped at a radius similar to that of the tire, so a 1/2 inch increase to backspace and/or 1" tire height is as close as I'd dare to push it. The new 2018 ZL1 1LE boasts 13-inch wide tires so I have to assume they've modified the lining or sheet metal in the fender wells, rims, or suspension to accomodate them. What I need: Code:
Size: 18x12 offset/BS: 43mm/7.7" (41mm/7.6" for 18x11) Pad height: max Bold pat: 5x4.75 Style: 5 spoke split-spoke (similar to stock) Color: black or dk gray flake (similar to stock) Weld Tech S76B Wheels Tires: I'm thinking I need the widest, stickiest tires that will fit without rubbing anything. Lots of forum members seem to like the Hoosiers and others swear by the MT's. MT's seem to have the best fitment options but appear to be more expensive. Maximum Tire Height: 28 inches Stock tires are about 27 inches high unloaded. Adding 1" will reduce clearance in forward inboard corner of wheel well by 1/2", leaving about 1/2" assuming stock offset & width. Candidates: Mickey Thompson P305/40R18 [PN: 3482] Code:
Size Wt cmpnd rim sec tread O.D. circ. Matl # Part # P305/40R18 28X12.50R18 33 R2 11 12.2 11.1 28.0 87.9 90000024572 3482 Summit: $364.95 Hoosier P335/30R18 [PN: 17345DR2] I could go with a taller, slightly wider tire but, looking at the Hoosier tire specs listing, this seemed like the best I could do. Maybe the list is outdated. Code:
Size Wt cmpnd rim sec tread O.D. circ. Matl # Part # P335/30R18 26.2x12.2R18 26 ??? 12 ??? 12.2 26.2 ??? ??? 17345DR2 Summit: $249.97 Thanks for any help you can provide. --Cal Webster |

No worries have you looked at options like the BC Forged option for instance? Their pricing is amazing for a monoblock wheel and obviously you can decide on a color you desire as well.

I guess I'll keep looking for a bit. Maybe someone will turn up with a used set of 18x12's that I can have shipped right away. --Cal |

https://www.mrrwheels.com/collection...s/products/fs1 That would be perfect if they came in my size (18x12). I never thought it would be this hard to find alternate wheels for the ZL1. The 2018 ZL1 1LE is going to be even more limited with those 13" rears. --Cal |

18x12 Forgestar wheels would be a good option but once again it takes about 6 weeks to be done. It's a tough one. |
