I heard they will, but you will have to beat in the inner fender well on the rear so they won't rub.

Hey man on the rear I would go 295/30/19 and front go 265/40/18 I am pretty sure that is to tall of tire for your rear.

Those arent even the right sizes for a vette. I would double check on those sizes.

you need adaptors for the rear 1.25". I believe 285/35 19 are the vette size

Yeah they fit. you can use either a 1.25" or 1" adapter for the rear, depending on how wide you like the rears to sit. they are about $60 shipped on ebay.

I have 17x8.5 on front and 18x9.5 on the back.... I had to "modify" some sheet metal to get them not to rub...
