C6 OEM fronts 18x8.5 & 19x10 for the rear I have read through some threads saying that these will fit but can some one fill me in on the correct tire sizes that i need to keep the correct ride hight so the abs light will not go on? Also will I only need a 1.5" spacer to make the rears fit. Thanks in advance.

Stock tire size for me was
275/40/17
New Tire size front
255/35/18-----Rims 18/8.5 Offset 46mm
New Tire size back
285/30/19-----Rims 19/10 Offset 65mm
My spacer was only 6mm for the back because my vette wheels were from OE wheels.
Hope this helps
Also remember if your stock rims are 16 and not 17 like mine were, you will have to run a higher profile tire so your speedo is correct.

I worried about the same thing. But you can't even notice it. I can' remember the exact diameter of my tires but you want to stay within an inch from what I hear. My difference between the tire size of the front and back was .8 of an inch and get no ABS light.

The problem with 245/40/18's on the front is it looks HORRIBLE with a 30 series tire on the back. Since the speedometer and gearing on the rear is what you really need to worry about, a 255/35/18 on the front won't be a problem and it's still within an inch to keep the ABS light from coming on.
