I'm going to have to drive the corvette this winter. We rarely get enough snow to worry about, but none the less, we do get a little.
I had a set of Sumitomo HTR+ on my Formula and I was happy with them.
The "problem" is they only come as large as a 245/40/18. I want to put them on my stock wagon wheels. Is this size going to fit fine?
BTW, 245/40/18s are $95, and 245/40/17 are $84......so pretty cheap tires.

your traction will suck very bad... you will have a much skinnier tire on the back a 275 come stock witch is wider.... i wouldn't recommend putting a smaller tire on the back plus it won't look very good... it should fit on the rim since the rim is 9.5 width... you can get very cheap tires in the stock sizes if thats what you want but i wouldn't recommend doing the 245 out back thats just my .02
