I just looked up some specs for that tire size and rim size and it looks like they are smaller than my current 20s if you get them in the right offset. The only offset I looked up for specs was +40 offset and they were smaller everywhere except for 7mm closer to suspension parts. That tire size looks perfect and the exact look I always wanted on a car.

I don't believe the diameter/circumference will change much, if at all, it's the width I'm wondering about. I know the 1LE is using a 305 in the rear (a 30mm inrease over the SS tires), but can they actually fit another 20mm on top of that (regardless of wheel offset) under the standard quarter panels?

Jesus Mary and Joeseph....look at the ass on that car....looks like a "funny car" w/o wheelie bar. I thought rubber for the C6 Grand Sport were pricey !!! More car than I will ever need ...what a beast ..love it

If you want to play the "there will be a base model and R model Z/28 game", the base model would probably use Michelin Pilot Super Sports at $415.88 each or Goodyear Super Car G:2's (like the 1LE )(RunFlat/TPC Spec is what's currently available) at $455 each.

I don't hear a s/c whine, it must be n/a

Wow, it's amazing how incredibly mean and pissed off it looks. I wish the SS front was shaped like that.

This is an exaggeration but, I almost thought "pro street" when I saw those rear tires!

I thought I heard it 6th from the top, but then not so much listening to the rest. You could be right.

I'll just have to keep that 3rd job I guess.

I posted some pics of a ZL1 a guy on reddit spotted recently, it took was wingless but it was also missing all of the aero bits minus the front splitter. Comparing the two now it looks like the lack of canards isn't the only difference between them,

is the emergency stop button on the dash a new feature after "the ring" incident??

In the straight on pics.. Does anyone else notice the missing rear seat pull down loop? Mine always sticks up and is easily noticeable... Any thoughts on there being no rear seat in this model or a different type? Or do they always pull the seats out front and rear? I know they run different fronts for various reasons, never looked in to the rears.
