Yes it will fit. The most common street tire you will find for the size it a 315/30/18. They are a little short compared to the stock 295/35/18, but will work ok.

I had the 305 R2's but on and that but the R's on. So I'm waiting for my R2's and I think im going to stay with the 305 for my first set of rears (which will last 2 weeks, haha)

here's the 315 BFG 18", works/fits great on stock wheel. Going with a 345 BFG as a street tire, as I have tubbed it. (no it does not stick out)

The flow of the C5's body line doesn't look so great with a big rear sticking out!

It does not stick out any farther than a stock tire/wheel combo. Remember, it's stock Z06 18" wheel, it's the pic that makes it look like it sticks out. Now there may be a slightly larger blug in tire, but really doesn't show.

They will fit. The side bulge is larger though.

Sucker would sit like a 2nd gen F-Body. Like driving uphill... okay maybe not that bad.
I believe the 315 is .5 shorter, so you end up with a .250 lower ride hieght.

Before tubbing, was there any rubbing? That BFG DR looks sick on there. Kickaz$
