Outside Track Width?

TraderGuy · 01-20-2022, 06:09 PM

I'm considering picking up a ZL1 1LE. This site has been a great resource for my research.

I'm wondering if someone could measure the outside rear width of the car, tire to tire. I'm trying to figure out if a ZLE would fit on my lift. A widebody C7 does, but barely. The Track Width in the specifications looks to be center to center.

Thanks!

just add the rear tire width to the published track width plus 3 inches for a 1.5 inch buffer on each side. so basically add like 15 inches to the published rear track width.

Good thought. Based on that info, looks like it will fit. Thanks.

My '21 ZL1 outside rear tire to outside rear tire is ~76". ZLE is probably another 1" or so given the tire width differences.

You can overhang the tires on each side by an inch or so if needed and it’ll sit fine. I’ve done it on my cars many times.

A lot of lifts have a covered pulley at the top of the ramp blocking the ability to allow that.

Mine has that too but is several inches wider than the tread path on each side. Meaning you can hang off the tread path an inch or two on each side no problem. I haven’t seen one that’s only clearanced to the tread path but I guess anything is possible.

I've got just under 80" Pully Cover to Pully Cover. For sure the tires would hang off of the runways. It would be close.
