Tire size questions
I have a 95 z28 3/4 inch drop in the front stock height in the rear.
I had got some c6 wheels the were 17 up front and 18 in the back it was 275/40 all the way around. I ended up selling them wheels because the car never drove good with them on I couldn't figure out why I even bought different tires for the front . and it still was all over the road I could feel everygrooove and bump in the road making it very hard to drive . I sold them to a guy who put them on a c4 and he said they drive good . on his car. so Im back to my stock wheels and tires 235/55/16 and the car drives great straight and all. Im thinking that the tires were to wide up front. Could this be true??
all that being said I just came across a deal I could not pass up and bought new ones. so heres my questions. the new wheels are 18x9front 19x10.5 in the rear . what size tire should I use? Id like to stay away from 275 up front. I know there wide rims whats the narrowest tire I could use up front on them rims Im not into that stretching look that ppl do I just want the car to drive easy tho like it does with stocks.
as for the rears Im thinking 285 35 19 any input please thanks

265/35 in the front and 305/30/19 all the way in the rear. buy a good tire and make sure you get it aligned. Your car might have a bit of toe out causing it to pull all over. try 1/16" combined "toe in"
