Bolt up just fine. I am not a fan of the 17 / 18 diameter look . . . . just FYI OEM corvette tires will most likely upsey the ABS on the car, since the OD of the tires front to rear is different too. F-Cars like tire OD's to be very close in size.

Can that be fixed by switching to a lower profile tire in the rear? like a 295/30/18 instead of 295/35/18?

Yes, but better to change the front tire:

Front recommend a 17" x 8.5" with 245/45ZR17 OD = 25.7" or a 255/45ZR17 OD = 26.1"

Rear 18" x 10.5" stick with the 295/35ZR18 OD = 26.1"

I have had no problems with the ABS.

Fronts are 275/40/17 = 25.7"
Rears are 295/35/18 = 26.1"

Not saying it will work for everyone though.

I do however get issues with my M/T ET streets.

if you are going to run 18s in back i recommend the slp jounce spacers so your tires dont rub inside the wheel well

yeah i just put those wheels on my car, they rub on the inside of the wheel well, i need to get a spacer. they are fine on bumps, but when you take sharp turns going fast (which we all do) it makes a little noise

Those are fine too, altough OEM from Z06 wheels aren't 9" wide, which is the minimum recommended width for a 275.

my stockers are
fronts: 17" x 9.5" and my 265/40/18 look freaking tall cant imagine how much bigger 275 look.

Rears: 18" x 10.5" 295/35/18

Do you mean your fronts are 265/40/17? can't fit a 18" tire on a 17" rim.



Quick Reply: 17x9.5 up front, 18x10.5 in the rear
