Default Anyone have/make 18x11 Z06 Motorsports?

I'm sure it's been asked before but search isn't turning up anything useful. The deal TomZ is having now is almost too good to pass up, but I'd like to try and get confirmation whether or not this size is available for the z06 motosports before I jump on the deal for the 18x10.5's.

Yes, but it's the difference between 295's and 315's out back. I need as much meat as possible in the rear when I'm puttin down low 500's rwhp.

with a 35/30 series tire its not going to matter with that much hp.. you can try a 305/35 nitto drag radial from discount tire direct but imho, you can get a 295/35 firestone firehawk for 185$ thats the cheapest in that size.. with a 315/30 the cheapest is the kdw drag radial.. next up your looking at 300$ + for a tire youre most likely going to shred

right or wrong, I'm running the new 315/30-18 BFG G-Force DR on my 18x10 AR TT2s and it works fine, and looks killer. Now...if you are a road racer, you need not exceed the 295 because there's some shifting in the corners with that size tire not being on an 11 or 12 inch rim.

I've got 420ish to the wheels and can drive the fool out of these new BFG DRs -they are awesome.

I'm not comfortable running a 315 on anything smaller than an 11" rim. Running those on a 10.5 would be pushing it, let alone a 10" rim.

safety is the best option for sure.

The only thing I know is that once upon a time I put 315s on a 9.5 rim and it worked, but had a funny wear pattern in the middle of the tire. The 315 I have now on the 10" rim wears evenly -although not recommended.
