Default Wheel sizes

I've got a 2011 5.0 convertible. Anyone know how many wheel / tire size options I have to replace the stock 18" stuff with?

Welcome to MF. We have specialized sections for this stuff, but I'm running 19x9 front and 19x11 rear.

welcome

you have options in 18's, 19's, & 20's.....just have to decide and go from there, because then you have to decide if you want staggered or not and then choose the correct tires.

Where in Georgia are you located?

gotcha..

you should check out AmericanMuscle.com....they have a full line of rims, tires & rim/tire combo's. They also include random customer pictures of the rims & tires on cars for you to see what they would look like.

Driving back and forth that distance to and from Atlanta, you may want to only go up one wheel size. If you go with a wheel that's to large, you'll have to use real LOW profile tires. Not good for everyday driving. Especially that far.

thanks for the help. I don't use the car to commute. Keep it in the mountains for carving the twisties. Moving up to 19's makes the most sense.

I love my 19's, but keep this in mind...Tires for 19's are more expensive than 18's and 20's.
