Help: Need sticky rear tires/wheels for 2012 ZL1
Hey guys. First time poster.
My dad has a 2012 ZL1 with the stock tires and wheels. He says that he simply cannot grab traction. He would like me to remedy that situation for Father's Day. His thoughts were a standalone set of different tires and wheels. Is this the way to go? Is there a better rubber that will work on the standard wheels and provide much more traction? It can be very aggressive as he doesn't drive it in the rain for reasons I can't understand. [see sig] If the best way to go is what he suggests which is a super aggressive drag type tire on a separate set of wheels....what setups are the best? Thank you very much! Best, Gene

Any drag radial. ET Streets are good

So the MT ET Streets P305/35R20 will fit on the stock rim without any clearance issues? Part number 3402? I know that's the stock size but sometimes weird sh!t can happen.
What are a good set of wheels to run with them? Anyone sell the black ZL1 wheels? Maybe I can simply get a stock wheel to make the whole thing look better. Thanks! Best, Gene

My goodness....the stock wheels are insanely expensive. I just spoke with my dad and he wants a set of wheels and tires not just tires.
Can anyone suggest a wheel/tire combo in black that will work? I'm not sure what other size wheels/tires people are running. I'm not looking to break the bank here. Thanks! Best, Gene

You can get the reproduction ZL1 wheels. They look a little different, and they're cast instead of forged, but close enough.
