Default Quick question on tires.

I just recently purchased a set of 4 Corvette rims with 275/40/r18s(9.5") on them and was wondering if I will have any fitment issues on my 98 Trans Am.

That is a 1" larger diameter tire than your car came with stock (18" vs 17"). Your speedo will not read correctly unless you reprogram it.

You will be off a little but but only single digit mph numbers so just keep that in mind if you decide not to program it sometime.
