Hello everyone, I am new to this forum. I have had my ZL1 for a while now and was wondering about wheel options. I need MORE traction, want to setup an 18" street setup front and rear.

Can I get 18" TSW Nurburgrings on the front of my ZL1? I know it is possible for the SS, but have heard the Brembos are slightly larger on the ZL1.

why bother changing the rims for more traction? the wheels we have are great you just need better tires! the Goodyears are junk! there is allot of options out there! I would only go to 18's if it was used primary for drag racing.

I am making approximately 640 hp to the wheels and I have 20" MT Drag radials on at the moment and am thinking 18" will help with what I' going for. The 20" MT aren't bad, but a little more sidewall would help.
