Will non runflats work on OEM LT1 Wheels

Its time to switch out the stock goodyears from new rubber.
Will non runflats work on the rims or do I need to stick to run flats?
This is my first car with runflat tires so I'm not sure if the rims are a special design that only works with runflats.

Thanks in advance

Yes non run flats will work just fine, only the tires are different not the wheels

Non-run flats will work just fine.

I recommend putting together a tire repair kit just in case: small case, tire plug kit, extra rubber sement, pliers, and vice grips. A small jack and a lug nut tool are also a good idea. I carry these things mainly when I am on a long trip.

Thanks for the info.
I guess I have gotten lucky but I've never been stranded from a flat in over 15 years of driving non runflat cars.
Whenever I have sensed a slow leak i've been able to top it off enough to get to the tire shop. A fix it kit is a good insurance policy.

I noticed the non run flat michelins are 5 lbs lighter per corner which is a massive unsprung weight savings
