Would you want almost 1" difference in diameter of these tires; seems that it would mess up your abs. & everything else.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1438245969.204355.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1438245980.070120.jpg

Not sure the reasoning behind the 19/20 wheels... Corvettes are set up for it. With 1" shorter tires in front/ sidewall is the same.
If you want big- go 345/30/19R & 295/35/19F or if you like the 20's & handling; go 325/25/20R & 265/30/20F both 26.3"diameter. Won't affect sensors & potentially handle better than vette! Just my 2cents.

Thanks for all the input. The problem with the traction control/ABS is the reason I originally posted. I am 99.9999% sure the corvette setup would throw a code. Seems the max difference FR>RR that the car will handle without a code is 3%, and the Vette setup is 3.5% difference. I assume Chevy simply set the ECU to work with this setup. Which is why I was wondering if an ECUtek tune might be able to avoid the codes (the most recent rom has control of the traction and abs systems).

I´ve been thinking I would go the 20" route for a while and the 265/325 tire setup you mentioned is where I´d settled.

The thing is, and this is all a matter of personal taste. 19s look perfect up front, but they look lost in the rear and vice versa for the 20s (perfect in the rear and huge in the front). Our cars have a relatively slim nose and a super tall rear, similar to the C7 vette (which is why I assume the Vette runs them in 19-20 configuration).

IF I decide to go 19-20 I think I would be just fine with the 275-305 setup. the 275/35 on the front is real close to stock diameter and a little more meat in the back wouldn´t hurt anything. Sidewalls are really close in size.

Either way, thanks again for throwing down your opinions/advice.

You right about that; what ever tickles your Fancy! If you like it/that's all that matters.
I said earlier that I like the pro-street look 345/30 & 255/40 on 19's Michelin PSS,8.5 & 12" wheels...27.1,2ish diameter. That's what I like & haven't seen another one yet.
The Z06 look would be different with having the front low....I just don't have the Greenbax right now.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1438280226.972919.jpg

hey guys sorry im a bit new to this forum but im looking to buy some wheels and i was wondering if anyone knows what this set up would look like. I plan on buying some varrstoen es1 or es2

Im currently on swift springs with factory camber spec
19x10.5 +12 front
19x10.5 +12 rear

I have the sports package and want to use the stock tires on these rims. My question is will this set up run flush with my fenders. My goal is to sit flush with no spacers needed and not sticking out. Any input or advice will greatly be appreciated. Sorry if this is a stupid question

Do you currently have the 19x9 +47 & 19x10 +30 ?

if you're running 19x9+47F & 19x10+30R,,,my calculations are (+2.11" front spacing on F & +0.89" front spacing on R) meaning that the rim lip on front could be up to 1" outside fender & the rear .25" out.....all depends on your camber adjustments///take 2 yard sticks and put one sideways at top of rim lip & touch against both sides of fender & take other one & measure gap to rim lip.
not saying that they won't work with factory tires-because you will definitely have the front one's stretched.
do the same in rear.
Factory Specs are (+43 18x8,+15 18x9) (+47 19x9,+30 19x10) (+40 19x9.5,+23 19x10.5)
hope this helps....rear would have a lot better chance than front.

The +2.11" & +0.89" is how much the wheel will come out further than what is stock...the backspacing on the 10.5wide wheel is 6.25",,,that is good.

thank you that does help after reading this i think i will be going with
19x9.5 +12
19x 10.5 + 12
what do you think? will that be better and sit flush with no poking?

still @ +1.61" out on rim,,,a more common front 9.5 is +25-which is +1.11 out further on rim...Hopefully a few other members will chime in-don't want to steer you wrong.

go to the (370z MEATY TIRE THREAD) this will give you lots of ideas.
