I tried to fit my 335's on some 18x10.5 Z06 wheels back in '02. We couldn't get them to seat on the rim. Tried every trick and insane amounts of air pressure. I had the Michelin Pilot Sports, they might have measured out wider...no telling.

Looks good, and I love Pewter.., but that's a lot of rubber front and rear, I've got 18x9.5 front running 275/40/18, and 18x10.5 rear, 295/35's, that's running on a 2000C-5. I thought 295's were a lotta meat out back, up front, it is a lot.

there is no reason to go so wide on a 10.5"
your contact patch will end up being less than if you r
an a 295 on the same rim

Yea, I ended up with 295s. They were originally for the '69 then I got the '02 Z28 and put some 295s out back.

I plan to do the same size wheels with 275s up front and 305s out back.

Your car looks great.

Easily...I've been using 315's on my factory 17 x 9 rims for 10 years. They wear perfectly even, I get about 17,000 miles out my tires and they handle great.

305's will be perfect on a 10" rim.
