96 Formula wheel and tire upgrade fitment
 
I really like the oe wheels replica c6 zr1 wheels. It's my dd so I'm trying to keep them square not staggered and as wide as I can without any mods. It's on a stock suspension also. I'm really liking the 18in but not opposed to 17in. It looks like it's either 18x8.5 or 18x10. I was looking at 275 35 18 tires but are they too wide for the 8.5 wide tire? Oh yeah they are 56 offset. Thanks for any or pics of your setup

Maybe 265 35 18 on the 18x8.5?

just keep it stock ws6 sizes. get the 17x9.5" ones with 275/40R17 tires. 17s will take the potholes better and wont ride as harsh as the 18s especially in a DD.

I just wanted to mention it's a convertible not sure I mentioned that. Does fitment summary above apply to convertibles also. I found the wheels I want and they are 18x9.5 square. Thanks guys.....

Yes the same applies

Thanks for the help guys. I had the wheels and tires installed about two weeks ago. Chrome c6 ZR1 18x9.5 square with 275 35s. I love it
