Yes Sam,
But if you look carefuly, the rear wheel looks as 19 inch.
it should be 18 inch for both front-rear.
Why 19 bigger?! sometimes i feel it looks cool, if you lower the rear.
I guess the rear fender Arc for zr-1 is the same as Z06 06 . isnt it?

:cheers:

In the pic that I posted, the rear of the car had not been lowered yet. Its been lowered about .75" now. Just some more info.
Also, Look for =Jeff= wheel pics. He has the Shelby's on his 90.

Shelby wheels look really good and are dirt cheap to boot.

If you can find them

[pantera1683]

You can find them if you put the word out that you're looking.

[sammy]

its just a personal thing .the sidewalls are shorter . and they make the car ride harder:cheers: . but then i am an old fart. bottem line the only person that needs to like them is you. i would like to get a set of those shelby wheels if any one know where some are please send me the info . i really like them .

[USAFPILOT]

Shelby wheels for sure...but I am biased since I have them too...I think I know a guy in vegas that might still have a set.

[HADI-ZR1]

Sammy,
I am not saying that Shelby is not Cool.
Why you think i start my thread with Shelby in first place?! :o

What i want to tell you, that 19 inch is acceptable for rear Zr-1.

As John Boothby said, I wish dig'em both!

Thanks, you're right. Lowering the front is this weekend's project. I did the rear last weekend (after this photo was taken).

Hadi,

Very interesting to see how much less rear overhang there is on C6. I'd originally thought about ZR1 style wheels but it looked a bit too fussy. Too ornamental. The ZO6 wheels were much simpler and more elegant IMO. Has very much a Ferrari look to it.

[sammy]

hadi , i wasn t knocking what you were thinking of doing , just not my cup oh tea , what ever you choose will look great ..pantera .i love the red touch in the lug not holes . does it look like a red ring when you drive it ????

This is same as my thought... 19 inch is cool for the rear, as 18 inch.
Going 20 inch is out of my mind.. Wheels should have enough rubber.


I hope Pantera Dont mind of redone his photo...

With the rear lowered the wheels look as if they were OE with the car. In fact they look even better in person. With the stock EMTs, no need for the spare tire carrier. BTW, odo reads 3mph slower than actual at 80mph. :handshak:

I found in ebaay the zr1 09 wheels Replica with :
SIZE AND SPECIFICATIONS: 18x9.5 with a +40mm offset & 19x12 with a +59 mm offset.
i try to foto shop these wheels on your car and lets see how it looks like!

Hadi, thanks for showing what it could look like. I don't want to go that low though, especially in the front. I need to keep it speed bump friendly ;)

Hadi,

That is the offset and size of the OEM Z06 wheels. I used an 18mm spacer for the rears. Fronts are 40mm offset. Let's see what you come up with. =Jeff= did a photoshop for me earlier this year.

not photo shopped.... 90 lowered with Shelby's

Hadi,

I like them BUT, I thought they looked to busy. The original Z06 wheels give it a "lighter" look IMO.

[kenehresman]

These are the wheels for me... where do I buy a set with tires? and sizes and offsets that fit?
