Larger wheels:
C6 now has its wheels that are one inch larger in diameter than C-5 as standard: 18.0 x 8.5 inches at the front and 19.0 x 10.0 inches at the rear end (gives it that arrow look). The rear wheels are also 1/2 inches wider than C-5.(better stance!) The C6 has five-spoke flangeless wheels are silver as standard; polished aluminum is optional(worth the extra price for that shine), at an extra charge. Go for it......... |biggrin| |biggrin| |biggrin|

The Z-51 wheel and tires sizes are the same as the standard package. But the Z-51 has an asymmetrical tread tire for maximun handling. The standard package is directional tread. Both furnished by Goodyear. Both are extended mobility tires. STANDARD package, Eagle F-1 GS-2 EMT (Extended Mobility Technology) tires in a P245/40ZR18 size for the front and P285/35ZR19 in the rear.(run flats) |rollysmile| |rollysmile| |rollysmile| |rollysmile| |rollysmile| BIGGER BRAKE ROTORS ON THE Z-51 Package..........

ma i hope that's true. I'm going for the Z51 package. If the wheels are bigger, the better. That's one thing I'm picky about, is the wheels. Wheels are a big part of the total package. What say you?

the Z51 wheels ARE NOT bigger. i read something wrong. The brake rotors are bigger and tires are assymetrical tread.
