Wheel fitment question

I have a 14 LS and am wanting to get some different wheels.
I was looking at the Factory Reproductions Style 41 ZL1 Fitment Wheels, Tire Packages – Pricing and Specs but found that there are certain issues.

I read that you need to get a certain wheel type to avoid getting codes, some people said to get what the SS has, but the SS has different sizes front and back, I want the same size all around.


What would you recommend to avoid getting codes in the dashboard?

Maybe what they meant was the same front and rear be the same height so Stabili-Trak doesn't freak out

I have the fr zl1 wheels 275/315 and never had or even heard of anyone having cel light issues with them. If you want same size all around go 275

Out of these which are the recommended for cars?
20x8
20x9
20x10
20x11
And what would the better offset? They have 23, 35 and 42

I'm thinking about possibly lowering the some day if that matters

The problem people are talking about is when the tire sizes are so far out from front to back it trips the stabilitrak. If you are looking for a square set up you will not have these issues. Check out the phastek site, they have the F/R ZL1 rims and you can get a 10" square set up. With that you can run a 275 to 285 on all 4 corners. I currently run 285/35/10 fronts and 305/35/11 on rear and have no issues coding out.

Why buy from phastek when you can just buy from factory reproductions? That's where phastek gets the wheels from.

I completely agree here pastel is a great company but my swell cut out the middle man and buy straight from factory reproductions. If your buying new wheels and tires I recommend 275 up front on a 10 inch wheel 315 in the rear with an 11. Just tell them you are planning on lowering and they will set you up with the correct offset if I remember right the +43 is for the 11 inch wheel (lowered or not) and +35 is for a 10 inch lowered wheel but I would double check with them before you order. I'm running the 275/315 setup lowered 1.4/1.2 with absolutely no rubbing issues

Sorry I just re-read your post and you want a square setup. Go 275 all around with a 20x10. Offset should be +35 I beleive but they will be able to answer you for sure.
