Now that we’re into the spring season, it’s time for many of us to wake up our slumbering Corvettes and get them back out on the road. If your summer prep list includes a set of new tires and OEM-style wheels, then check out these pre-mounted and balanced sets from our friends at Corvette Central.
As “Caretakes of the Legend” since 1975, Corvette Central stocks thousands of parts and accessories for all generations of Corvettes. They are constantly reviewing and adding new products to their Corvette Catalogs and website. Their new all-in-one wheel and tire packages make it so simple to give your 1984 – 2019 Corvette some summer lovin’.
The fully mounted and balanced assemblies ship direct to you from their supplier. They fit C4 – C7 Corvettes and each set includes center caps and matching lug nuts. Sets of 1984 and 1987 Corvettes come with 25mm adapters and 1997 – 2019 sets include TPMS sensors.
Each OEM-style wheel is wrapped in either Toyo Extensa or Sumitomo HTR A/S tires. So, just be sure to read each listing carefully and note which tire comes with your desired package. Also take note that the 2005 – 2019 kits only work on the non-widebody Corvettes. Each generation of wheels comes in a myriad of color choices including chrome, gloss black, satin black, silver, and more.
To find the packages on Corvette Central’s website, simply select your specific generation from the blue navigation ribbon on top, and then select “Wheels & Tires”. Next, click the “Category” option on the left and select “Wheel & Tire Package”. Now you just have to select your favorite from their hundreds of options.
Each package’s page contains several photos of the wheels and tires plus a brief description of all that’s included. We also love that they offer critical information like backset, bolt pattern dimensions, and even hub diameters. They also note details like whether or not the stock center caps will fit as well as caveats like making sure you’ve still got stock brakes installed.
Here are some of the packages from each generation that caught our eye.
