From my uneducated perspective, the wheel/tire combo on the Z/28 is one of the biggest advantages it has over the ZL1 based on the recent video. I understand weight, multi-matic suspension, and CCB also are huge in the equation as well. BUT, as a ZL1 owner, I don't want to strip my car of the creature comforts, remove the MRC, or put $15K+ into CBB so that leaves me with the wheels/tires which I absolutely love.

Which leads me to this...I know they may stick out a little bit beyond the fenders without the extensions that are on the Z/28, but will they work otherwise? Will they fit over the BREMBO calibers and will I have in well rub on tight turns?
I would think one of the biggest advantages of the Z/28 is it's brakes. The fresh air box is a plus also. Those two things done to a ZL1 would really help close the gap on a race track.
