im just not sure about having 18's in the rear as i lowerd my car already and about how wide they now i have 17x11 in the rear so they wouldn't look Too much skinnier would they?

I think your TT2's look better. I think black on black is played out. JMO

They look great. I would try to get the same size diameter rim tho. Always thought C5 wheels looked weird with the front tire having more of a sidewall.

This is true for C5/C6 Z06 wheels. Never seen anything like these, he'd be one of the first.

they look good! i'd go with them

But like said before Black/lip is getting played out.
And the ZR1 wheels are getting there too.

but this is a good combo, i say go for it.

Let me know how much you would want for the TTII's. I'd be interested if you wanted new rims.

what are the specs on the TTII's I myself and a friend would be interested in them, but they'd be refinishing the centers

I dunno if your gana like the 18's in the rear just for the fact that corvettes are designed to have the 17/18 combo the fbods are designed for 17's at all 4 corners i my self think it looks wierd but to each his own. just my 2 cents

yeah i know what you mean.. i am kinda iffy with the 18's in the rear.. i wish they made 17's all the way with wider in the rear as apposed to buying 4 fronts...... tires cost more for 18's also..




the TT2's are 17x9.5 front with crappy tires be good for the rest of this year and probably need to be replaced begining of next. the rears are 17x11 with brand new tires less than 800 miles on them.. all 4 tires are sumotomo's or how ever the hell you spell it..

will they not fit without the adapter? or did you just put that on the rear to get the "wide" look?

i'm not shure but i think the c6 wheels need spacers to fit. I'de stick with a 17" but american racing has the rebels in black in a 18"x9" and 18X10

All depends on the backspacing of the wheels. If you haven't seen it yet, there's a good sticky over on LS1tech that describes how to measure, what wheel widths, and what backspacing combos work well and which ones require mods to fenders or addition of spacers.

I had my rear 2002 style WS6's widened this winter by Weldcraft. To get the backspacing correct, I'm also running the 1.25" spacers.

Later!
