Default Need help asap

After getting hit on wednesday I just noticed my tire got a hole punched in it on the inside side wall. Looks like a corner of my bumpstop might have punched it. Anyway I need a tire or a two tires for arond $300. If someone can help me out with this I would be very gracious. size 275/40/18. I also need a little help geting my new wheels to fit on the rear. They are Z06s 18x10.5. If anyone is kind enough to help me out I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

you should run 295/35/18s on 10.5 inch wheels... also. what problems are you having with them not fitting? They rub? Just take the wheel off and look at the areas that its rubbing at. And hammer that area until they are a non issue. What offset are the wheels. is your car lowered? I've ran 18x10.5 z06s with out issues.

I dont really know the offsets on them, they are Z06 repros. Another issue I ran into I test fit the rim on there this morning without a tire and it bumps up against the bump stop bracket. Not sure but I figure that will go away once the car is off the jack and the spring settles in. My car isnt lowered, yet. I have the springs just havent had the weathers cooperation or the tools to put them on yet. My main thing right now is getting some tires. So if anyone out there has the hook up or has a set of 295/35/18 let me know. I need it to be around the $300 area. Once I get tires I will use the BFH method to produce needed results. So help anyone with tires.

if you raise the car by the differential the bumpstops wont be an issue. I'll keep my eye open for some tires.
