Default 315s on a 10.5" wheel?

I am looking into some 18 x 10.5 z06's - will a 315 fit comfortably on these? What do you all suggest? If only a 305 will fit, how will they look out back compared to a 315?

You can run the 315 nittos on the back b/c they run a little less wide than say a GS-D3 which is about the fattest of the 315's that people run.

i run a 18 x 10.5 black ZO6 rim and run daily 335 pilot sports on them so if i can fit 335 then a 315 better fit or you need to find a new tire shop

315/35 BFG's on my 9.5" TT2's. They'll fit perfect on a 10.5.

Why do so many people run wider tires than what they're supposed to on a given rim? Do they think it's cool just having a wider tire regardless of the danger that is involved? Tire manufacturers don't have different sizes for different wheels for no reason. Besides, when the tire bulges out and upward, you're effectively losing the larger contact patch that your trying to achieve with the larger tire. What a dangerous waste of money and maybe when you blow one up and total your car, I'll say I told you so. Other people will think that what you're doing is ok! Perfect fit my ***!

ok so he says they are a 10.5 as per what is written inside the wheel. Also, it says a .56 offset and he is running a 275 tire. Is that all ok? How wide can I go w/a 56 offset?

Actually I've seen first hand he does have the Black Z06 Wheels on his ride, only the backs, not sure if he got the fronts. I remember him saving up money till he could get them, not sure whats going on right now though.

what does offset have to do with how wide of a tire you can run on a given wheels size?
