  • C6 Wheels On C5 Corvette | Does Putting Bigger Wheels On Your Car Change The Ride/Handling Quality??
    After putting C6 Corvette wheels on my C5 Corvette, I noticed some subtle differences in the way my Corvette rides and handles. So, how does changing wheel and tire size affect the way a car rides and handles?

      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

    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.

    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.

  • @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

    • @TheTaxreliever
      @TheTaxreliever 3 роки тому +1

      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.

    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
      @richardmorris7063 2 роки тому +1

      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.

  • @Johnoines
    @Johnoines 3 роки тому +2

    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 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).

      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.

    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
      @McIntoshTravis 3 роки тому +1

      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
      @juliomedina8881 3 роки тому +1

      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
