Default Anyone put 315's on ZO6 wheels

Has anyone put 315/30/18's on the rear 18x10.5 ZO6 wheels? Pirelli is the only company that makes that size tire. I was wondering if it could be done, if not what's the widest anyone has gone in the rear?

I would say yes, that tire would fit on a 10.5" wheel.

The tire itself would fit fine on the rim yes. But you guys are not taking into consideration that the ZO6 rim is a Corvette rim with a corvette offset. The rim sits further inside of the wheelwell. I had to beat the **** out of my wheelwells just to get my 295's to fit. Trust me, I would have loved to put 315's back there but I don't see it happening without some demolition to the car and/or modifying of the rear end. It might not be extremely expensive but it will cost you. You'd be the first one to do it though.
Oh wait, they don't make 315's in an 18" rim. You have to jump straight to 335's. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

They do make 315s in an 18 inch size, he just told you who made it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

They also make a 325.30.18... I had these on my 18x10.5 ZO6s. I switched from 295s to the 325s and had to beat the inner fender in a little more, but it was no big deal. 315s will fit no problem. They'll fit better than 315s on a ZR1 wheel because of the offset. I didn't even roll in my fender lip for the 325s.

Do a search on here and you'll find pics. It looks awesome, with such a huge tire tucked nice in there... almost looks tubbed.
