Default Tire Fitment

Based on my searches, it appears the wheels/tires below will fit up front without any issues. I just wasn't sure about the 275/35/18 sizing which appears to be close to the OEM 270/40/17. Any thoughts about fitment for these? Thanks..

275/35/18 is perfect for a 18x9.5" Z06 rim
Smaller side wall and retains the stock F-Body tire height.
I have them on my 18x9.5" Z06 rims.
You may want to invest in some better tires though, haven't seen great reviews out of Nexen N3000s

Thanks, I was thinking about a tire upgrade as well, but wanted to be sure this size would fit up front without rubbing.
