HI all, have a 99 vert, with 17 inch fronts and 18 backs, and was wondering if a stock set of polished spoke rims from an 05, 18 fronts and 19 backs would bolt right on with no modifications. Thanks....JSH
They are but once they're done I'm not sure I'd go run flats again. Definitely a hard and slightly noisier ride compared to standard. I would stick with Michelins though as they are an awesome tire. Not to jinx myself but I haven't had a flat in 30 years so keeping a pump and repair kit in the trunk is something I'm willing to risk for next time.
The only reason the factory used run flats was so that they did not have to supply a spare/jack/wrench which took up much needed space and added weight. I run Michelins and don't carry a spare but I do have a small jack/factory pump and a tire repair/patch kit when travelling any significant distance.
Here's one more thing to think about. If you haven't done anything come May next year, contact me again. I might be interested in selling the entire combination of C6 wheels/Michelin Super Sport Tires (13k kms use) with rear adapters. I'm considering a completely different aftermarket setup. Currently the Vette is snuggled under a blanket and keeping out of the weather for a few months. No idea of price but I'd be more certain in the spring.Yes, I was thinking about that Ron.
