Im not sure if they have them, but check out WheelHQ.com. I believe that's the correct name, i know they carry ZO6 wheels from C5 & C6.

sucks to run 295/35's in front and 315/30's on rear! Your front tire is .69" taller then your rear tires!!! Thats just not right LOL. They really need to start making 315/35r18s!!!!!!

It doesn't suck at all I personal think it looks sick as hell... The difference is not noticable at all Ive had tons of people say it looks perfect... I sat the tires side by side and couldnt find any height difference when they were brand new....

only reason it suck is your front tires are over half a inch taller then rear. I can tell in the pics by looking at the bigger sidewall on the front. Sucks that they don't make a 315/35r18 that would be sick!

295/35=26.13x11.61
315/30=25.44x12.40
315/35=26.68x12.40 That would be sick!! They need to make that size. That would make the rear .79 taller then front! If a tire is going to be taller then the other it needs to be the rear
