Best tire size for 10.5" rim Just wondering what would be the ideal size for this tire? I dont want the tire to look to narrow on the wheel. I was thinking 295/35/18. What do you guys think?

The 295/35/18 look kind of stretched on my Z06, but there arent that many choices for a street tire that are that wide and lowpro. I want a 315/35/18's but the only tire ive seen in that size is the nitto 555 drag radials... $380 each!

295/35/18 looks good on a 10.5" but it depends more on the tire brand than what size it claims to be. Nitto is known to run smaller and brands like Goodyear and BF Goodrich are known to run bigger. You can also search for a 305/35/18 or a 315/30/18. They are comparable in size but not so much in price.

There may be a little rubbing but from what I have read if you jack the rear up by the differential there should be no problems. If there is any rubbing i will just buy a couple cmall spacers for the rears.
