Default 19's Front - 20's Rear - Show Me Pics Without WideBooty Please!

All,

Would love to see some pics of any Vettes that have 19's on the front and 20's on the rear without the wide-body conversion. Convertibles / Black would be ideal but wouldn't mind any.

Thanks All!

What size tires would you need to run 19/20s without the widebooty? Would the offset be different than stock? Curious as I have my eye on a set of wheels in that same size (06 Z51 non widebooty here).

thanks!

The cars with the vvs087 are not widebooty. The offset of those wheels is designed for a standard c6

The Vossen wheels being discussed are 19x9.5 in the front and 20x11 in the rear so the offsets are slightly different since the wheels are 1" wider as well as 1" taller.

The tires I found that are the closest match to the stock diameter are either the Toyo T1R or Pirelli Nero in 275/30/19 and 305/30/20.

In order to get more traction I'm going to take a chance and put Toyo T1R 265/35/19 up front and Toyo R888s 315/30/20 in the rear. They are a slightly larger diameter but I think I should be OK.

appreciate the info and I'll have my shop guy take a look and see if your advice adds up -- makes sense but I really want them to fit well but provide the most traction too!

All of the cars in the Vossen gallery are using the Pirelli Nero. But I wanted something that would provide as much traction as possible so I'm trying the R888s even though they are a bit larger.

I was just down at a local tire shop last Friday going over all this. I'm waiting for a phone call any day now to tell me the tires came in. Pics will be posted as soon as I can get them on the car.
