all this talk about shoes and laces and all I see are wheels and tires.

and I agree with Z04 about the tire size

The wheels look great. Tire sizes are fine. maybe 265/295 would be better but your setup looks great as is.

ah, ok. i never got into all of that ghetto slang talk like "hater" and "player". i always thought that was stupid and makes the people that use it seem illiterate.

I remember talking to you about possibly taking them off your hands. Glad you kept them. They look good.

Z04, that is barely a stretch.. michelin asks for a 9.5-11" rim for a 285/35 tire, so before you bash someone do your own research. Just because it "looks" a certain way doesn't mean its not the correct application..

OP, Your tire size is THE IDEAL size; keeping it close to OEM diameter while keeping your VDC happy. The fronts might be slightly stretched, but you'll be ok.. ruining your sidewalls blah blah blah is bs. Keep your tire PSI correct and you'll be fine...

Since you did mention that they are for show not track...Mission accomplished! Good choice in not selling them.

Bull ****.

you wont eat the sidewall unless the rim is poking out and all the SLIGHTLY stretched tire is gonna do if at all is make it a tad easier to kick out.

if the tire bulged out...now I could see it eating the sidewalls.

go back to chevy school cna try to put some 17s on your z04.

Sorry but I'm a stickler for grammar. If I call someone a "hater", the word "hater" is clearly a noun and not an adjective. In fact I will be impressed if anyone can come up with a context to actually use "hater" as an adjective, because I am drawing a blank right now.


But anyway, the RE30's are really nice.

Well its time you start looking into it, times change we don't speak like we did 50 yrs ago, do we? and in another 50 yrs we wont speak as we do today so get with the program.

thanks you for this post!

definition of illiterate : unable to read or write , making your post on illiteracy senseless. If i was illiterate i wouldn't be in this forum in the first place because i wouldn't understand anything. So, get your definitions straight before you make yourself look like a moron.
