Default Z06 18s-need help

I recently bought a set of 03 Z06 rims they are 18x9.5 all the way around and Im not sure what the right tire size would be to go with. The rims are goin on a 93 Z28 so im kinda concerned about clearence issues. there needs to be enough tire to where it looks right. I was thinkin 295/35 but not sure.

Any info is greatly appreciatied.

i have 275-35-18 with 9.5 front and i was told thats about all you should do with 9.5,on the back i have 295-35-18 on 10.5,i just don't know if you have the right offset if they're oem corvette.mine r aftermarket with a 56 degree offset i believe.

I'm running 275/35/18 all the way around on my 18x9.5 chrome C5 Z06 rims. If I had it to do over again, I'd do a 285/35/18 on the rear.

that offset sounds about right,i have 0 issues with my tires and i'm also lowered,in any case i think and you should wait for the right answer,that 295 is too big for 9.5 wheels.i'm sure if you do a search here you'll find the right answer.

285's are the largest tires i have seen reccomended on a 9.5" wheel, granted some may go wider, but i haven't seen any 295's reccomended for anything smaller than 10" wide rims.
