C5 Y2K's?
 
I've got C5 Y2Ks that came off a 2000 or 2002 Corvette and they still have the factory run flats and I'm due for another tire.

What width are the front/rear wheels?
Is there an easy way to tell?
I have 245/45/17 on the fronts and 275/40/18 on the rears.
I would like to go as wide as safely possible (love the look) but when I view optional plus sizes it goes to just a bigger rim.

I'm not looking for something to break my 10 bolt, but I would like to be able to go WOT in first gear...

measuring tape? pretty sure u can go +20 on the width the ratio should change tho. u dont need wider tires to hook up just better rubber

You mean like 275+20=295 would be safe to run?
I know the sidewalls will change, I'd like a lower profile as well.

And I just like the look of the bigger tires, but I know the compound is what really makes the difference, I'm thinking about NT555's or INVOs again...

Just need the size really so I can figure out how wide I can go, lord knows how much confusion I would cause going to discount tire telling them I need tires for a 2000ish Corvette when I walk them out to a Camaro.

should work fine just browse sizes
