I picked up some C5 Z06 wheels a while back to put some (wider) track tires on the '69 (I got tired of always having the skinniest tires at any event). Got the tires mounted yesterday (a damn sight tougher job than mounting 60 profile 15 inch tires) and installed on the car. The rears (10.5"/285-18) fit perfectly with 2.25" adapters. The fronts (9.5"/275-17) fit with no clearance issues, but they're tucked in about a half inch narrower than I would like for appearance. Another pair of 2.25" adapters should do the trick, but before I spend the money is there any issue I'm not considering? I'd like the track width to be as wide as possible for best handling. I haven't looked at the change in scrub radius, but I hope that issue is minimal at higher speeds. I haven't yet measured the wheel offset to see where I'm at with the adapters to see how much the net offset is (affecting wheel bearing stress). So, any thoughts before I order different adapters next week?
Thanks,
Mike
