Will 98 Vette Wheels/Tires Fit
Hi
Can anyone tell me if the 1998 original vette mag wheels with F1 run flats fit on my 98 Camaro?
I do not know for shure but I beleive they are 17 x 8.5 (with P245/45ZR17) and 18 x 9.5 (P275/40ZR18). Also, can anyone confirm these sizes?
Thanks JA

I did not think the difference was that big:

275/40-17 4.3in 12.8in 25.7in 80.6in 786 0.0%

But there does seem to be alternatives for the rear tire that are closer than 3.9%:

This is the problem:
245/45-17 = 25.7in diameter
275/40-18 = 26.7in diameter

Thanks I did not think of the ABS. This makes them less attractive as it will be difficult to get rubber with equivalent diameters.
