Anyone have a picture of these on a non Z/28? Preferably the 10-13 body style?

1LE with Z/28 Wheels & 305/30/19
Let me just leave this here.....

A couple of quick items.

• This was not what I had planned for my day today.....but stranger things have happened.
• I did not use the Trofeo R tires...I have Zero patience and installed a set of Bridgestone RE050 that were take offs from the rear of two different Porsche 911....I will figure out what tires I really want to use later.
• There do stick out, there is more fender to tire gap, it does look a little strange. Rocks are gonna fly everywhere.
• Stock ZL1/1LE front wheel w/285/35/20 tire was about 60lbs on the digital bathroom scale
• Stock Z/28 Front wheel with 305/30/19 tire came in at 55lbs on the same scale
• 285/35/20 OD is 27.85"
• 305/30/19 OD id 26.20"
• This lowers the car about 20.5mm (or 1/2 of the 1.65")
• The car is already on Pedders springs front and rear

Picture time: Z/28 on driver side: ZL1/1LE on pass side (285/305 combo)

I like the wheels, too, but there are no good tire options in 305/30/19 size for track use. The Pirelli Trofeo tires that Z/28 comes with costs about $2200; a little too much for a set of tires you intend to trash at the track : (

Well, the only affordable option is the R888s, but there are better tires available in stock 1LE sizes, etc.

That's crazy the 1LE rear wheel is $696 on GMpartsdirect and the Z28 rear wheel is $505.

I would use them as my street rims, I don't really take my SS to the track

I sent you a PM a couple days ago. Please check your PM's.

Thanks.

I talked with Al Openheiser at a show about two months ago. I asked him about the "locked" parts. He told me that it was temporary since the Z/28 is limited production for the first year. They want to keep the parts on the shelf for the owners in case of malfunctions. They should be available to everyone towards the end of the year, begining of next..... lets hope so. I really want some wheel flares for my ss!!!

Good luck getting them even from the GM places that say they can. I bought an extra set for my Z/28 to run while I put the rims that came on it up so I could drive and not worry about messing one up and put tires on it that are 200 to road race. It took my dealer a couple days to get the wheels ordered after sending all my info in to get them. Beware of someone saying they can get them if they don't own one.

I ordered a set from my chevy dealer for my SS. They are in transit now.

schoofster,

How much did your dealer charge you?

[Chaxce]

Tell us when you get them! Also post pics when mounted!!

[schoofster]

Will do. I got the only set they were alloted for the rest of the year. $2389.00. Otd
