Seriously, AAA is your friend - they always came through when I neeeded a flatbed to get my Esprit home......not that the SLC would ever be as unreliable as a Lotus.....

(Having said that, if his car is completed, it will most likely be far better than mine, so I'll just take the whole car and leave him my flat tire). :drunk:

Ben -
You have seen the state of my SLC right?!? ;-)
If you ever need help with a flat tire I'll be happy to help you out with one of my Corvette wheels/tires. Something tells me your SLC will be done well before mine and to a much higher standard.

Will 20x13 / 19x10 (typical +1s for a Z06) fit the car? M
I doubt it - 335/19 failed me miserably so going to 20'' would just make it worst unless you ran some dinky ass tire

Those are pretty close to ZR1 size and the ZR1 tires are the same outer diameter as Z06.
Here is what you would need: (ZR1 size)
19x10 wheel +40 offset 285/30/19 front
20x12 wheel +59 offset 335/25/20 rear
so the ZR1s fit?

No one has yet to install ZR1 sizes yet that I know of. Here are the facts about their size.
1- same overall diameter as Z06.
2- same offset as Z06.
3- same width as Z06 although the fronts are .5" wider on ZR1
4- Zr1 uses bigger brake calipers and the ZR1 wheels and tires fit on Z06 cars. Lots of C6 (Z06)Corvette owners upgrade to the ZR1 combination.
I was going to go with ZR1 tires and wheels. The only reason I didn't was the fact that a few ZR1 owners were getting wheel damage from hitting pot holes (due to the thinner sidewall). As long as you maintain the same overall diameter/offset/width and have clearance for the brake calipers then it should work.
Post #2 & 3 didn't work because the owner went to a overall "taller" diameter tire. The ZR1 maintains the same overall tire diameter as the required Z06 size..

Here's the best tire calculator I've been able to find. I've used it for years to help on various projects. Hope it helps. Just enter all of the questionable sizes, and...

If the overall ID is the same then it will not be a an issue as Ken mentions....but as yet I dont know anyone that has tried in the real world.
