Scott,

Thanks much for the heads up. My wife is going to have a Canary but if these are really OEM wheel, this is just too good to pass up.

Thanks.

I will get it for you tomorrow, I need to dig up the receipt.
I went with the adapters because if I went with just spacers I would have had to change out the rear studs to longer ones. All I had to do with these was trim off the non threaded (tip) of the factory studs (5 min of time) and I was good to go.

Hey Rick, will you still be able to use those sweet Kinesis wheels after you upgrade to the C6Z brakes?

Yes Sir! I have been running the fronts all year and soon will complete the backs. I was told in the past that they wouldn't clear the caliper so I was going to sell them cheap. How happy was I when I discovered that they cleared fine? Saved a lot of money not having to by new wheels.

[ScottZ95ZR1]

Good deal! I didn't catch that you already have the fronts installed.

I'm thinking about a new set of wheels and trying to decide on which direction to go on rear tires. Anyone here running 345/30ZR19 size tires on the rear of their Z? They are a little wider and taller than the 315/35ZR17s tires the Zs came stock with but should fit with the right offset wheel.

Dom and Ricky are running 345's on the rear.

Frank,

Those were 325's which is the stock Z06 tire.

So it really isnt possible get GoodYear F1 Supercar 315 tires anymore.. Course I have those at my -90 ZR1. I need new tires to rear and think I am getting those other GoodYear tires that look like V.

The F1 supercar version has been out of production since about late 2005 or 2006. I do not know what G/Yr replaced it with.

The "V" shaped tread are the GS-D3. It seems that G/Yr has had another run of the D3's as Tire Rack now has the 315's in stock.....but the 275's are now out of stock as of last week.
