19 CCW SP600s. Tires were Mich pilot sports. Im almost positive they were 295/35/19 but i could be wrong they may have been 285's. But they were absolutly great. I'll see if i can find a front/rear pic.




Heres some 295 BFG drag radials on widened stock wheels.

From Tirerack site regarding PS2 sizing:
295/30/19 available, no sizing at 295/35/19
285/19 available in 30, 35 and 40 aspect ratio

Also, Hankook Ventus V12 available in 295/30/19, 285/35/19 and 285/30/19, for about half the price of the PS2s.

Also, Nitto Invos, none in 295 sizing, 285/35/19 and 285/30/19 available.

Looks like his best option is the Nitto Invo, ive ran those on several vehicles and couldnt be happier with them.

I have Nittos on my C6, very happy, already have the second set waiting to go on once I have a few unplanned 360s on a rainy day. If anyone is looking at Invos or Hankooks, compare pricing and shipping with www.onlinetires.com, I just compared them with another big site and on two 285/35/19s, they were $35 per tire cheaper when including shipping. I purchased tires for both of my cars last month, and no one was within 10-15% of their pricing.

295/35 18 on wagon wheels is this possible? Anyone have a pic of the largest tire combo that can be used on the rear c5 wheel?

Did you intent to post in the Corvette section? If not, some clarity please as I am not sure what you are asking. On a 295mm tire the minimum rim size should be no less than 10.00".

So, what is the maximum tire size/wheel size when 26.7" diameter (stock height) is needed.
Love the pictures . . . thanks. And the blacked-out look. Sinister.

No one indicated the overall diameter of their wheel/tire combo.

My thoughts are a larger diameter equates to less tire revolutions per mile and doesn't mess with the computer and I'm not looking for a reprograming.

what size tires were you running on the ccws? i saw 295/ ? / 19. i just paid for the set that was for sale on cadillacforums so ill need tires next week.

Well, based on the overall diameter, you are basically stuck running 295/30zr19 or a 295/35zr19. The 30 series is 2.77% smaller than the stock wheel/tire combo and the 35 series is 1.63% larger than the stock sizes. My vote is to run the 30 series in the rear so that you can run a 35 series tire in the front and it doesn't have such a thick sidewall.

You can see the sizes I run in my sig and they work great, except you do have to remember to keep the tires inflated to a pretty high PSI to avoid bending rims if you hit a pothole (or just be very careful and avoid potholes, etc.), since there is not much rubber between the wheel and road surface.

yeah ive been all over the net today looking for pics. my car is stock height so i am wanting to stay as close to stock o.d. as possible becasue it will be a while before i go lower. i obviously want to find a tire that i can tread match front and rear. your car is THE **** and if i didnt have a redline V i would powdercoat the wheels the same way. i have been considering the 245/40/19 and 285/35/19 bfg's. not sure yet.

tweeter81

Here are a couple more pix to help you decide what aspect ratio to go with. By the way, ya gotta lower the car, it is the single best thing you can do to a V to make it look more badass and really increase the performance in the twisties. Also, you could do the same thing with your wheels, powdercoat matte black with a color-matched redline pinstripe. That would look really sick.

My rears are 295/30/19s, not sure who offers a 295/35/19. My car is not lowered but still rubs on occasion, so I would think it becomes more pronounced when running a 295/35/19.

my rears cost 25 bucks cheaper here, and i get my tires at cost.

you ******* savior you.

I have not seen anyone beat their prices, they deliver in 3-4 days and no bait and switch crap. They are in SoCal I believe, so if you can get to their warehouse they charge no shipping.

All you fawkers owe me, send JWB or even the gold pricey stuff, I ain't particular, then again knowing you guys are saving more money for future performance mods is good enough for me.

watch those ***** at onlinetires.com... i went to order my invos, 255/40/18 because they had a super great price.. needless to say the day my email said they would be shipped, i was waiting allllll day then called and come to find out they didnt even ship yet, so after spending numerous hours on the phone bitching it took 4 days to get them to do a refund, then another 3 days til it was in my account.... the guys name was AJ that a spoke with and could do nothing to answer my questions on how they could run a buisness they way they were and have noooo answers for the customer, noone knows where the manager is..... needless to say i told him i want to have that price for the invos for the rest of my life and immediate shipping because of their **** upand he said fine, but i dont even want to order from them as they left a bad taste in my mouth....

I had no issues, tires showed up in 4 days. I did go through hell with www.tires-easy.com, as they cancelled my order after hitting my card, and then offered the same tires for my SUV at $70.00/more per, stay away from them.
