C6 Wheels On C5 Corvette | Does Putting Bigger Wheels On Your Car Change The Ride/Handling Quality??

[@kevinz0681]

I just put my old 08 z06 tires and wheels on my sons 04 c5 they stick out a little bit but the stance looks awesome.

[@user-zt3zq8uf1z]

I have a 2000 c5 and I went with 285/40/18 front and 285/35/19 back they are all Michelin run flats and wow what a differents it made , I like how it handles now! the run flats are a bit ruff but still the handling is great 😁

[@richardmorris7063]

They're a little heavy too.inspiring wt.counts.

[@antoniogalicia2164]

Did you put spacers too?

[@Actionanimalranch]

Just put c6 z06 rims on my c5 love them

[@jeffb243]

Thanks for posting this. I’m thinking about getting the base C6 wheels like you have on your C5 for my C5

[@philtroskey3454]

Well I had a good deal on 4 X 19 in wheels so that why I put 19 away around , I moved up to 285 on the front they just fit and going to 325 on the back when I get wheels that just the tire looking for Zo6 C6 Wheels for the back

[@vruiz78]

Definitely the best way to go to update the wheels!

[@richardmorris7063]

I had an electronic blue C5.I put 18-19s like these only chrome.made it look slot better too.I put the Z06 rear brake ducts ,small wicker spoiler out back & silver grand sport stripes.I had cold air intake ,a larger polished throttle body ,cores extreme w/X pipe & tune.great throttle response from that throttle body & still maintained 20 mpg city& 24 hwy.an automatic that would break tires loose at 45 mph & under.

[@Altararms]

I did the same thing as you and changed from the factory C5 wheels to the wheels. You’ve got on there now and I hated it. I’m actually changing them back

[@johnm7947]

The best investment I made on my 98 C5 was Michelin Pilot sport non runflat summer only tires.

[@Johnoines]

A couple of Corvette owners that I communicate with on Facebook tell me that you need to use a 1 inch spacer when mounting c6 wheels on the rear of a c5. I own 2001 that I bought already having 2005-07 c6 wheels with 285/35ZR19 and 245/40ZR18 tires on it. They seem to work perfectly on my car. I do not understand what these other two guys are talking about?

[@alancall5113]

Thank you for your comment I'm wanting to tire to come right even with the side of the car So you did not use any spacer perfect I have a 2003

[@Johnoines]

@@alancall5113 they are out far enough for me but maybe not for you. They are inside the wheel wells about 1/2 inch. I tried spaced but didn't like them. No normal person notices (maybe just a C5 fanatic would).

[@alancall5113]

Thank you That's exactly the look I'm wanting I must try👍🏼

[@markcusimano]

Does Drive Hub ever tell the size wheel spacer need to run rear C6 wheels flush on the c5?

[@philtroskey3454]

You can put a 275 18 on the front I have a 285 19 on the front now trying to get wheels on the back to put a 325 I have to much wheel well showing should be putting 50 series tires on the back but I already got my 325 30 19

[@lstackhouse345]

Hi, are you still using the spacers?

[@kickinvideo333]

So, you lowered the car to its max and added an inch to the wheels? Not a good formula. Are the tires the same diameter?

[@Pullenum]

I have a C5 and these exact rims and looking to throw tires on them. Any issues with the tpms sensors with these tire sizes on them?

[@lobomorunga1]

how did the tire pressure sending units adapt to the c6 wheels?

[@carwashdetailing9126]

Hi. I just purchased I set of 18/19 2007 C6 wheels. Do I need spacers or will they fit like yours without spacers?

[@JVP_thephobic]

Sounds like a beast!

[@nighrow5]

Did u put spacers on?

[@raymondshartrand2417]

I have the same C6 wheels on my C5. I hate the rear wheel gap area. Do you have spacers on your rear wheels?

[@vitalirider707]

What drl lights?

[@keithp115]

Daylight running lights

[@That_Guy_Izzy]

🔥 as always brotha!

[@rickcstein]

Steering is a little more direct?

[@sspp3065]

did you have anything like speedometer being off

[@stevieanderson7281]

In order to get rid of some of the space between my rear tires and rear fender, would be better to just go bigger wheels and tires or just have the rear lowered?

[@richardmorris7063]

Lower it,if you were to go to 21" remember you're eventually going to change the final drive ratio.

[@Lite_Lotus]

What daytime running lights are you using? Is that an aftermarket housing? Led?

[@sergoffthegrid]

“Im just an idiot with a camera.” Shit was hilarious 🤣

[@bluecorvette1405]

You did not mention if the larger wheels will affect your speedometer. Is there a way to tell the computer there are bigger wheels so the speedo is accurate?

[@madmax96]

If they are true original c6 wheels just get oem tire sizes for that year and you'll be fine. Its overall tire diameter you need to worry about, not wheel size. Find a tire calculator online to compare c5 and c6 tire sizes. I got C6 oem wheels on my C5 and everything is great.

[@hammerobx8196]

Did you keep the rear wheel spacers from your previous video? What size were they again? I’ve just put 3/4 inch on the rears with c6 wheels and new tires and was curious about what you decided.

[@TheTaxreliever]

I put 1" and think they're perfect!

[@TheTaxreliever]

Also, I feel more comfortable with wheel adapters vs spacers as spacers put more stress on the lugs....I've been told, but makes sense to me.

[@hammerobx8196]

I wonder if he will answer about the spacers/adjusters?

[@vincemc2259]

Nice red 300zx in the background

[@philtroskey3454]

I put $19 around I put $19 around got a good deal got to 35 on the front and 305 on a Mac

[@dominickguerrero5664]

Sounds like someone blew out their microphone recording an exhaust video ...

[@leonlawrencez28]

What's the weight? I want new wheels but they have to weigh less.

[@VetteDaily]

Google it

[@boatingboy1011]

I have a c5 and im looking into putting 18 and 19s on it. Did you have to do any modifications for them to fit? Any spacers or anything or do they just work well as long as i get a lower profile tire?

[@richardmorris7063]

I'd did this & it worked out well.I used a 3/8" spacer in the back w 285 19". It brought the tire out even w/ the body.

[@CameronAlvarado]

Would you say get a mustang gt 2017 for 30/33k with 20k or so miles. Or get a c6 2007 with 25k miles for 26k/28k? I wanted to know your thoughts since you own a vet. I don't know which one to get lol plus I love your vids man keep up the great work!!!

[@Z06kupid]

Hope you got the vette

[@CameronAlvarado]

@@Z06kupid haha I actually got a 2015 3.7 mustang for 13k and prochraged it haha shits a blast

[@thorandmoljnir]

I'm not positive but I think I remember reading that when you change the tire size it also (slightly) changes the final drive ratio. Any engineers out there want to confirm/deny?

[@McIntoshTravis]

Yeah, it does change because you’re changing the size of the tire. The tire will turn less RPM the bigger it is. This will increase top speed and decrease acceleration

[@juliomedina8881]

It only depends on the full diameter of the wheel + tire combo. If you have bigger wheels but a shorter tire, it can even out. However if you have bigger wheel and the same height tire, you're going to change the ratio

[@TheTaxreliever]

Wondering about speedometer also.

[@richardmorris7063]

Like Julio says ,its the ht of the tire & wheel together.if the wheel is taller but the tire lower profile it won't change final drive.but get new tire censors!!

[@SwedishMeatball53]

A very nice C5

[@VetteDaily]

C6 Grandsport wheels, those belong on a C5.

[@Kw-oh9jk]

I have that setup

[@Julian-Vlogs]

Good vid

[@tommymorgan5250]

such an awesome looking car

[@juansaladzar]

4:07 I hope you’re always honest brah 😐

[@kevincollins3926]

How off was the speedometer

[@jimgordon3468]

You don't want to always have grip in the rear. Being a little slippery can be so much fun in the rear. 😉

[@juansaladzar]

4:14 I hope you’re always honest brah 😐

[@SteveMcGarrett50]

That sounds @ 1:04...

[@codaily]

Get rid of the RFT run flat heavy turds, it’s like 5lbs per wheel added to the rotating mass witch equates to 200lbs added to the car

[@richardmorris7063]

Exactly,so much can be gained by removing wt from wheel & tire & even rotor wt.

[@rkmlb5005]

I don’t understand why can’t you answer basic questions that people here asked, if you can’t follow up don’t expect people to like, follow or subscribe your videos.

Going to just unleash the elephant in the room did you end up getting in a wreck

[@robdajuiceman1328]

Yo

[@scarecrow_9895]

It sure screws up the look of the c5.

[@adventures223]

C5 just does not have a aggressive look great engine and front end just lacks good styling
