Default Got New Wheels, Now What size tires??

Im looking for info. Tire Sizes.

I just got some new wheels. Chrome Z06 Motorsports 17X9.5 and 18X10.5

I've been doing some site searching but I need a little direct help.

I blew my money on the wheels, so price is a big issue.

Thanks.

Go with 275/40/17 up front and 315/35/18 out back, but since price is an issue you may have to go with some 285/40/18 out back

The 315's will probably be expensive and you might have some issues with them (fitment). Do a 285 out back.

Would there be a fitment issue with some 295s in back?

I had OEM Z06 wheels on mine(twice). First time, I had 275/40-17 up front and 295/35-18 in rear. No fitment problems. Second set, I went same on front and went with 305/35-18 NITTO drags on rear. Very close fit on these.
Also, I was running Eibach Sportlines with both sets of wheels. Hope this helped. If I can find pics, I will email to you.

Thanks for the response! I am looking to get the 295/35/18 for my new wheels.
