Default C6 Z06 wheels trans am question.

I was curious if I got 18x9.5 C6 Z06s all the way around and wrapped them in 275 35 18s, would this damage or interfere with traction control/ speedo? vehicle is a 1998 T/A

your speedo shouldnt be too off , you might lose a bit of traction with the thinner sidewalls ..

I thought that with a traction control vehicle if you put the wrong size diameter wheel/tire combo on it that it could cause the system to be damaged or lock up.

It might **** it up if you run way taller tires in the back than the front, but even then IDK. Don't worry about anything, they will work out just fine. 275/35/18 is about the same height as the stock 275/40/17s are, but you could run 275/10/18s or 275/70/18s and it wouldn't hurt the traction control at all.
