that rim info cant be right. The tires dont match up to the rim (a 265 rear is small for a 9.5 rim and straight retarded for a 10") and 18" front with 19" rear is just stupid. Also since when is a 10" rear a good idea without rolling your fender. Ah this cant be right. Also not buying the 300hp for every model and higher revline. If it is it really doesnt matter just doesnt make sense.

I'll believe it when I see it. Some of those are drastic changes from the norm

would 18" up front and 19" rear look good on the Z?
I've thought about it before, but never seen it done. I'm still not 100% sure the shape of the Z will make it look good

"and 18" front with 19" rear is just stupid"

What do you base this on?

Corvette, among others, has staggered wheels. The C5 had 17s front and 18s in the rear. The C6 has 18s in front and 19s in the rear.

If I were to do it over again, I would put 18s in front and 19s in the rear. But, it's now too late.

Don't know if the data posted is correct, but a 265 should be fine on either a 9.5" or 10" inch wheel. And a 10" wide wheel will be fine without rolling fenders depending on the offset. As far as the 18" up front and 19" out back goes, Central 20 has had this on their tuned Z for a while now:

It looks like it will probably be right... too bad they didn't have any pricing info!
