Default 315/35r18 ??

Looking to buy Toyo TQ's in 315/35R18 's. Looking for info about fittment on a 04' ZO6. Its lowered on longer bolts and these tires will be mounted on the stock 18x10.5 Z wheels. Anybody have pics (wondering about how much they may stick out) or info on active handleing issues that will arise with this size tire.

Thanks...

I can't help you with 315/35's but I can tell you I have zero issues with 305/35-18's on mine and I'm lowered on stock bolts.

I have Michelin PS2 and they do not stick out but maybe a hair (the basically flush with the body of the car) they fit perfect. I am also lowed on longer bolts and have zero active handling issue and this is with a 315/30/18 tire the Toyo's are a 315/35/18 so you will defiantly be fine.

They'll fit no problem. Guy from Texas over on Z06Vette.com with a lowered Z06 just installed a set of the exact same tires on his car and has no issues.
