Default Biggest Wheels on Front?

What is the biggest wheel size one can put on the front of a ZO6 without modifying the well?

I would like to put 18x10.5 all around, so I can easily rotate the tires.

I am thinking about getting the 2006 ZO6 wheels.

I run 18x10.5 wheels all the way around. I run 305/30/18 tires on them fro racing.

the wheel doesn't rub? No problems ?

What size front and rear?

Any problem with traction control or active handling?

Thanks in advance.

Got any photos?

Will my rears on the back go on the front (offset wize)? I want to get 19s for the back and move the 18s up front.

Last weekend I saw several la area vettes running 20 " rims on the front!!

I was a bit shocked..35 series tires too!! asked one of the guys how they did that without computer malfunction..he said " who cares..it looks awsome!"

I run 19 x10 front w 275/30's ..rears19x11w 295/35 .. no problem at all!

I am not real sure about running your rears up front as they are another 1/2" wider..plus the offset MAY be different
