18x10.5 z06 motorsports wheels..what size tire?
I'm looking to put some 18x10.5 z06 motorsports wheels in the rear on my 98 C5 vette. what is the widest tire I can fit on this rim and will still fit on a 98 corvette. i was thinking they probably make some kind of tire like a 335/35/18 but would you need to modify anything to make that fit?

mini tubbing requires cutting the fender well out and bolting in the new lingenfelter tub kit. I'm not cutting up a nice C5. i just want some wide tires for a 10.5" wheel, that require NO modifications.
so the 295/35/18 seems to be what i'll go w/. so what brand tire should I get? I want best traction w/out useing a drag radial.

Well in your first post you mentioned a 335 tire on the back. I was just giving you your options. Im in the market for a vette and I have no trouble putting the mini tub kit in once i get it. I think a 335 on vettes look sweet ***
