Default Recommend tire sizes for me please
Hello

I'm planning on KDW2s for my C6 wheels on my T/A

I have 18x8.5" up front and 18x10.5" for out back.

I want to keep the speedo as close as possible to correct
I've got a 95 T/A vert w/16" wheels - original rubber.

From what I've read this is what I need;

275/35ZR18 for front
295/35ZR18 for back

I don't want tire buldge ( / \ or \ / ) I like them to fit correctly on the rim.

Am I on the right track? Suggestions ??

Thanks in advance

If you don't want bulge up front, don't go any bigger than 255/35 on an 8.5. The rear should be a 295/30

Front a 245/40ZR18, and out back a 295/35ZR18 or a 305/30ZR18.

275's require a 9" wheel minimum.
