Default Fitmint question!!!!

Z06 Corvette Replicas:

17"x9.5" +50 to +56 mm no problems. 275/40R17.

18"x9.5" +50 to +56 mm 275/35R18 or 285/35R18.

I read ^ on the stikies and im confused!!! I just put in long tubes, and i have eibach sportlines and i barely scrape on some plases, i curently have 275/40/17 tires on my car. im going to purchase some 18'' zo6 wheels but i want to buy 275/40/18 wheels not 275/35/18 because then there will be no point in getting biger wheels since i went from 40 to 35's. so my question is will 275/40/18 fit?

With the 285-40-18's youd be changing the overall diameter of your wheels. Which in turn will throw off your speedo. Also, your abs will hate you. If you have it. Stick w/ the 35 series imo.
