any reason why your not running a wider tire in the back. 315s would look sick, but i understand if u dont want to BFH. what about 295s?

dont do 285's out back, i HATED how they looked when i had my Z06's. kind of like the side wall rolled into the tread, ugly. never have seen 295's on any car, but is there a 305 that is out there?

Give one of our technicians a call and they can go over recommended sizes and the tires that "we can't guarnatee", but end up in images on the forums. 1-866-273-3651 They can quote you on a package too.

We reccomend 245-40-18 / 275-35-18 or maybe up to 285, 295 in the rear. Nice choice on the wheels.
