Ok Guys,

I did a little research and strongly believed the Z06 wheels will fit. However, do I need new brakes? Any other issues y'all can help bring up before I do it?

Thanks.

 

why would you need brakes to put zo6 wheels on i work at discount tire and you should be fine

 

Thanks for quick reply Stix80. I was just worried about my current brakes giving out on bigger wheels and tires. Good news to me then according to you!

 

bigger wheels will wear out your brake pads but you are only goin from a 16 to and 18??? not sure but tha little of a difference wont change it too much

 

Fronts= 17x9 to 18x8.5
Rears= 17x9 to 19x10

 

yeah again not that much of a difference the only big problem i could see is the rears being to wide to clear in the suspension in the back

 

Uh-oh! Would the people at Discount Tires know this right away at installation?

 

yeah we are americas tire in cali im pretty sure but make sure they test fit the wheel before putting tires on and you should be fine you could even do it yourself just check that the wheel sits on the hub completely and isnt rubbing anywhere

 

Larger diameter wheels will have no affect on your brake's ability to stop the car, unless the new tires are noticeably larger in diameter. Larger diameter tires put more force on the brakes due to having a larger turning mass (think monster trucks as an exaggerated example).

 

yeah im gonna call bs if you take a car that has 15s on it and go to 22s youre brakes are gonna go quicker even if you stay with the same rolling diameter tire lots of people at my work have proved this fact
