You really need at least a 275/40/17 on a 9.5 rim. the 265 will look funny on it, the rim will pull the tire and the tire will not look right. MO

Those are the stock sizes that come on a Z06. Rim width range for the 265/40/17 is 9 to 11 inches. Most 275's will bow out a little and the 265 will stay a little straighter. This is a good mid range tire for the 17x9.5 / 18x10.5 wheel combo.

Gonna have to agree with flawless02SS on this one. My Firehawk came with 275's and they looked great on the rim. I woulda been all over this if you had em in 275's as I am in need of tires.

Unfortunately they do not make it a 275. It is hard to find a fair priced 295/35/18.

I got a set of these tires and love them. It felt like getting new shocks. Dampens a lot of road bumps, which I never experienced from a tire before. Great tire. Glad you're offering them.

They do make a 275/40/17. That's the size people here want on their 17s. Tires do have different widths so maybe this one is a little on a wide side and 265 looks like 275 should. I don't know. I got 245s on a 8" rim.

I'll see what I can do about getting another one going if some more people would like to get in on it.

Hmm...I'm in the market for a pair of 275/40/17's and a pair of 315/35/17's. I've got Goodyear GSD3's on right now, but would consider those Wide Ovals...price/availability?
thanks!

I can"t find the 315's anywhere right now, check back in a couple of weeks.

sorry
