ZL1 Road course wheel setup
I've done a lot of searching, but haven't come up with any good responses on this subject.
Does anyone run a dedicated wheel/tire setup for road course use? It would nice find a cheaper and smaller diameter wheel (19" or 18" all around) with similar offsets to retain the track width of the car and similar tread widths as well. |

I have done two track days with stock Pzeros that where next to new tread and they did great. on the 8" & 9" OEM SS wheels. Now on dry time, you need something more like the GY F1 G2's or Nitto's (big blocks). Which this will be my first year doing track time with the ZL1 wheels and tires. Trust me, I understand you wanting a smaller tire for quicker turn in, less rotating mass, etc, but unless you are competing professionally. I wouldn't 19" tires are harder to find and more expensive. 18" tires are more accessible, but it is hard to find a 18" tire to clear the front calipers.

Not competing, but I want to try and run a different setup then my DD wheels and tires down the line. The CTS-V guys are able to go with Z06 wheels as they don't have the crazy front offset the ZL1's do. Just seeing what options may be out there that could work.

Yes, that is an awesome set up. He quoted me $3700 shipped. I went with TWS Nurburgrings 20x10 et35 all around with 285/35/20 Michelin pilot super sports. Light and the PSSs handle and wear great. With the square set up you can also rotate to extend tire wear.

I saw that and was very tempted. My idea was to pair them with the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup. This wouldn't be though an economical solution as they are almost double than the O.E. good years.

I just bought 4 20x10 tire rack wheels rapped them with 285's front and rear so I could rotate them as needed.

The release of the Z/28 confirms the road course setup Pedders has been running since 2009 is optimal -- 305/30/19s on all four wheels.
