It would set the car up high in the air. Even the 35's are going to be higher than stock using a P295.

I would go with the 35's.

Both those are too big. Go 295/30/18. Thats the closest to stock and its the stock size tires on the rears of Vettes.

*Edit* Its 35, my bad.

A 35 is the ideal size.

What width wheel are we talking?

I really like the 40's, it's what I am running. To me it fills the fender a bit more. 275/40/18

I have 30 series and love them. But you'll need some heigh so the tires give a little and not your rearend on the track.
