im looking at getting 17x9.5front and 18x10.5rear chrome zo6 wheels. i was thinking of running 275/40/17 up front and 275/35/18rear. Does this setup sound like it would work?? And what would be the right offset to get on these wheels?? Thanks for the help. James

You need a 295/35/18 for the rears. Stock front size is 265/40/17 but a 275/40/17 should work fine. A 265/35/17 is 25.3" tall and a 275/40/17 is 25.7" tall.

The tires you list will work, but on the 10.5" wide rim I would highly recommend the 295/35ZR18 rear tire, it just fits the wheel better, appearance wise.

just picked up my zo6 wheels today!!! 18x10.5 rear with a 58mm offset and 17x9.5 in the front with a 56 mm offset i think. im getting the tires put on tomarrow so i hope everything fits OK. I am thinking of doing the 285/35/18 rear and 275/40/17 up front..

Then you will see all the areas where the wheel (actually the tire) rubs inside, then take your BFH and pound away. Re undercoat, and then drive again, if you still hear rubbing repeat. Hope that helps.
