Default Tire Combo

Black c6 z06 Deep Dish, 18x10.5 / 18x8.5.

I'm wanting to put some DR's on the back. I'm thinking NT05r but I'm not certain. What could I run up front, I'm not wanting to mismatch brands. Car is a daily driver, will see rain. What sizes/brand should I use for all four, I'm wanting a big tire on the back and probably close to smallest the rim will allow for on the front. If modding is needed or any rubbing, please don't suggest that setup, Thanks ahead of time.

295/35/18 rears.
275/35/18 front. Or
/40/. Probably tall since it's a 18 inch rim.

I got oem c5 zo6 rims
295/35/18
275/40/17. No rubbing issues.

I'm running on 295/40R18's. I think it's the perfect tire for the rear personally.

Wait. When you say big, do you mean width or height?

Yeah i'm thinking of doing the exact same setup, but can't decide on tire size. will 305-40-18 fit 10.5 inch tire or is that to much tire would I be fine with a 295-40?

Yea, give me a few days. I put on my new DD C5's along with brand new tires and couldn't stand the look of the rusted rotors and the crappy red paint job I did on the calipers so it's on jack-stands while I repaint everything. Send me a PM if I forget to post up!
