Hey 00SOG, i have a good friend that is runing 315/30/18 MT, with a 1.5 drop and he has no problem at all. Hes got the C6 Z06 from oewheels.

 

Good deal.

 

Well the tire set up did not end up working so I'm gonna return them and go with the nitto 555r in a 305/35/18. This really suks because they made the car look so mean.

 

Good to know. Your car does look perfect. Nice stance and those wheels look great on it.

 

Why did it not work?

 

I'm lowered approx 2" and running 315/30/18's in the rear on 10.5" wheels, car does have fenders slightly rolled along with some BFH, but i don't see why you couldn't run a slightly taller tire.. looks to me like there is plenty of room.

 

then again, i have absolutely no interior, windshield, front end, or engine/ drivetrain in the car at all. so it should come down significantly..

 

hey bro.why did you have to return the tires?
why didnt work?
im planning on 315/40/18 on c5zo6 rims 10.5
any info will be aprreciated thanks

 

You can make it work. You just have to be willing to hit on the car and do some fender rolling. This guy sounded scared to really do anything to the car to make them fit. People are running bigger tires than 315/40s and not rubbing.

btw 315/30 in the back and 265 or 275/35s up front does not make the front look like a taller tire. They are roughly the same. I have that setup on my car.

 

thanks for the help bro..


i dont mind doin some custom work to make them fit. i can cut the inner fender or roll the fender, i just want to see if it could fit,
the car will be lowered on stranos,
i got 295/35/18 right now it kinda rubs but no modifications done yet,

im going with a tall wide profile because to make the tires look good on the fbodys is kinda difficult since the cars are huge on the back,
siknny tires look funny on them,

i hope 315/40/18 look better.
