Trans am tire question!@

I'm getting 18x9.5 Z06 rims all the way around in trade for my stock rear end and old tail lights. I'm thinking of trading my two 9.5's for 10.5's, will I be able to fit a 315 tire on a 10.5?

which kind of 315 would you guys recommend. Need something that looks wicked but at the same time works well in wet weather too!

I really don't know but I think you would get more help with this question in the tires forum.

I would not run 315's up front. Really 315's aren't necessary unless you want to roll around looking like you have huge tires in the bag. They are not that great for cornering and those wheels would be very heavy with that tire combination (not the best for speed). However if you are concerned with looks you can't beat those rims with big tires!
