OK, Tweedy,

We knew the tires sizes, but not the rims. Now that you looked it up for us, what will fit on the stock rims?

Pseudomind,

I'm with you on this subject. Even though I like the slightly wider OEM Z06 tire size - I just wanted to double check the rim widths.

Thanks,

Remo,
If I didn't know better, I would think you were considering purchasing some Z06 rims for your convertible. Now, couple that thought with the fact that you just had a Lingenfelter Upgrade, and your recent post about wanting to "eat some Z06s" for lunch, and I'm starting to think your real plan is to pass Quicksilver off as a Convertible C5-Z06.

That would be :cool .

But if you're still planning to go "eating" us for lunch, all I can say is your bad man, Remo. A very bad man.

Ok, Dwayne & Howard!
At the time, I thought maybe there was size in between I could move up to
without changing rim sizes. I was asking Remo earlier today since I'd like to go to GY D3's, but everyone including TireRack has the stock front size on back order.

Hey, I got the day off, nobody said I had to "think" today.
