Tire wise I'd put on a 295/35/18 on the 18x10.5 rim.

^^what he said. Dont try to force 315s on a 10.5.

What size are your fronts? If 8" go with 245s and if 9.5 go with 275s

What do you mean "force" 315's on a 10.5?? A 10.5" wheel is wide enough for a 315. There is no forcing to it. Ask me how I know. 17x10.5 with 315's


Here is when I had FOOSE 18x10's with Nitto INVO 295's. I would put a 305 on the rear of a 18x10.5

315's are just fine on a 10.5. Just look at all the guys running TTM's with 315's, they are all 10.5's.

Corvette ZO6 Replica Wheels

"18"x10.5" +50 to +53 mm. Higher than 53 mm will require the BFH mod. 285/35R18s thru 315/30R18. Over 295 may require
rolling the fenderlip and will need the BFH. +58 mm is the typical available offset for the Z06 replica, which will require a little BFH and/or a small spacer
."

Thats what I mean. Some dudes put them on and then wonder why they start rubbing. It CAN be done but do a
little reading first. The same way people dont understand why when they put their new 17 x 11 ZR1s on,
they wont go on without the car being raised from the proper place.
