Question Got 18" Rims what size...

Hey guys I just got a set of 18" Chrome Z06 wheels for my Trans Am... What size tire should I use to keep my speedo close to accurate?

on a 7.5" wide wheel 275/35ZR18 is identical to OEM height.

on a 10.5" wide wheel the tire size of choice is a 295/35ZR18, a tad bit taller, but neglibgable . . . but you can always have the comp reprogrammed.

275-35 is perfect, 285-35-18 is ok, 295-35-18 and beyond u should consider reprogramming
