Tire Question

Hey guys, I just got a set of 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear z06 wheels for my 01 z28. I wanted to run 275 35 18s in the front and 295 35 18s in the rear, but I can get 265 35 18s and 285 35 18s for $250 cheaper. I was wondering if those tires would be too stretched for the width of my wheels and if everything would look alright. Thanks in advance.

Those tires would look narrow on those wheel widths. You most likely would not be happy with the asthetics (appearance) of the tire on the wheel.

Don't do it cuz you'd regret it later! Get 295 for the rear wheels and 285 for the front. I got 285 for my rear 10 in. wheels and now regret not going with 295s. They would've definitely had a much tougher look. 285s fit fine with the wheel but would have liked wider.
