you cant put those on z06 wheels.. the widest they make in a 17 is 9.5 allowing you to fit a 285.. if you get the 18x10.5 you can fit a 315/30/18... the 275/40/17s will fit the 17x9.5s perfect for the front.. btw a mod will prob move this to the wheel and tire section.

if you still want z06s go to tomzwheels.com

twas an assumption...why else would you want huge tires out back? Do you not like fuel economy? There is always looks I guess...I'd still rather have a skinnier tire and the suspension mods...get you down the track much faster. ie. less drag.

Read the tire manufacturers recommendations.

If you are foolish enough to try it fine . . .

If you find a tire shop ignorant enough to install them fine . . .

But encouraging others to recklessly experiment, NO. Do not PM me in regards to this, I will not reply. If you don't like my stance then complain to Brains or Nineball.

Sincerely,

The Tire ****
