Any word on wheel and tire sizes on the Z28?

I searched for the word wheel and was immediately overwhelmed with long threads so I thought I would ask here.

Does anyone know if the Z28 wheels will be wider than the current SS wheels?

I would hope so. Look at the Corvette for example: LS3 powered covette has one size of wheel where as the Z06 has the big Fatties! The higher HP cars almost allways have larger wheels.

That statement is true 99% of the time. My car is the one exception.... They put a LS3 with a M6 and 3.70 gears on a set of 245 tires. Whoever made that decision needs to be "talked" to.

well considering we don't even know if the Z28 will be a High horsepower version then we can't even answer this question. there's been no official information on the rumored Z28. sorry to be a debbie downer.

Word actually came out yesterday at GMinsider that it'll be running 22's similar to the concept version with 8.5" up front and 10.5" in the rear. Sweet!

I WANT 335S IN THE REAR!!! Yeah right, lol. I'd hope they'd get close to a 3XX mm tire.

Hey, something's wrong, your link keeps rickrolling me instead of sending me to GMinsider, you should go check it out or something
