(IMG:http://www.zeppelinsreef.com/images/war_eagle/z06-brakes.jpg) Ended up going with some 2009 C6 Z06 Spider wheel reproductions in comp grey. 19 x 10s in the rear and 18 x 9.5s in the front. Went with Nitto Invo tires. The reviews I read on the web really like the tire, so I went ahead and ordered a set. 305/30/19s for the rear and 295/35/18s for the front. Should be here this week. Getting the brake caliper brackets and brake lines from trackbird, and I should be able to get started on the conversion. Tires should be here this week, rims the week after, or so. Coming from Cali and the rears have to be painted to match the fronts since the 19 x 10s don't come in comp grey normally. This post has been edited by Zeppelin: Jan 15 2010, 04:44 PM
