Corvette C6 Z06 Wheels and Nitto NT05 tires (staggered) Anyone know what size rear tire I can run without rubbing the inner wheelhouse on my '99 SS? I am looking at the 18 x 10.5 rear wheel size.
I currently have the same wheels, but the deep dish version that appears just recently became discontinued ( I wanted the 18 x 10.5 for the rear).
I'm interested in running the NT05 on the rear.... 295/35R18?
Anyone have any pictures of this setup on a pewter car they can post?
TIA

I'm running 18x10.5 +58 with 285/35 Michelins... which is probably the fattest 285/35 you can get. I don't rub

I have 18x10.5s +50 offset Weld RTS's with 295-35 nt05's and had to massage the inner fender a bit, I still need to get the fenders rolled as well. I think depending on the offset of the wheel, a 295 is going to rub a little but on either the outer or inner fender.

Probably irrelevant, but I have 18x9.5 C5's in the back with 285/35ZR/18 Hankooks. I believe they are 56mm offset. Stock ride height, no rubbing, and I've since put about 5000 miles on them.
