I want to run 315s on the new rims I'm getting, idk what tire height I can go with that won't rub. Id like to run the 315/40/18 Nitto NT05R with the 18x10.5 rims with the +56 offset. Other than a little BFH modding, will I have any fitment issues with that tire size? If so, what tire size do you recommend?

Any luck with this???
Looks like fewer and fewer people are making c5 z06 rims

i have rims that are the same size and am currently running 305/35/18 tires. The tires i have now are a little taller then stock height so a 315/40/18 would definately be quite a bit taller then stock. Mine dont rub but im not lowered or anything like that yet

315/30/18 or 315/35/18 will fit with bfh. and you have to cut off the bump stops

315/30/18 here and I had to cut bumpstops bfh quite A bit and roll the fenders. This is running koni 4/4's and stranos

Sounds like thats what i'll be doing then. How big of a PIA is it to roll the fenders, and what would i use? I'm running konis and strano springs currently as well

I Had a local shop do it professionally. They used a tool that hooked to the hub. Looks flawless for $75 a side. Some guys use a bat but the one I saw my buddy do to his ws6 looked nasty

A 315/40/18 tire is going to be just under 28" tall. A stock tire is roughly 25.7" tall. 2" is a good bit of height.

I'm running a 295/35/18 on some 18x10.5 z06 wheels and it required just a touch of bfh and fender rolling. I had a 5/16" spacer as well.

Sounds like a lot of modifying to fit a tire over 300 with 35 or above. But I really want traction, so I'll be going for it haha. How much does it normally cost to get fenders rolled?

I put a 295/35r18 on my 10.5 z06. Passenger side was fine, driver side took a little bfh. Only downside is that I have to lift the car with a floor jack instead of a lift BC the tires hit the bump stops when lifted. I think I'm gong to pick up some jeep bump stops so my tires don't get cut if I bounce too hard out of an invisible pothole.

yeah my bump stops fell off so i'm not too worried about that haha. I Really want to run 315/40/18 NT05R in the rear. Has anybody managed to get that exact size to fit on fbody?

Why exactly do you want to run a 40 series tire other then traction? If you're that worried about traction, just don't run 18" wheels.

A 40 series tire on a 18" wheel, on a fbody will look kinda goofy, IMO.

I paid $100 to get my fenders rolled. It was either rent a tool for $75 plus shipping, and do it myself, or go with a guy that's done hundreds of cars. The choice was pretty simple. I did help the guy a bit while he did them. I would have easily done them, if my only option was to rent the tool, or pay a guy like $200 to do them. It wasn't hard at all.

Need to run 18in wheels for the brake kit I am getting. I want a 3xx series tire from Nitto, and the 315/40 has the smallest tire diameter of the 3xx NT05r. Sounds like a good deal for the fenders, i'll have to browse around, thanks for the info
