for a Kumho V710? R6? Is the tire pinched? The manufacturers recommend an 11" rim. I have factory Z06 Speedlines. What size are most of you running on the stock rims?

Go right ahead, not a problem! I have that setup as well as a lot of other people I know.

I have Hoosier 315 A6s on the stock wheels with no issues.

Im running 305/35 on 10.5's and they are fine... I think 315 is the bottom end of the approved size for 10.5 so you should be good with no worries

i run the khumo 315/35/18's on stock Z06 rims and they work fine but..they do bulge a little. I really think the 305 is best big tire for stock rims.

hoosiers really like wide rims. the sidewall is like steel!

so run 305 on stock rear rims on the front and get ccw 12 inch rims for the back and run 335's !!!!!!!!

315's work fine on my 10.5's. Run them on my C5 and C6Z06

I measured my 315s and they were about an inch wider than stated on their website. I will be running those on a 12" rim and the 295s on an 11". I have 335s on the 12" now and they buldge a little...seems like 335 would love a 13" rim. I am pretty sure I will get better performance from a 315 on a 12, than a 335. More tire = More weight, not always better performance.

Also, when I was reading through hoosiers website about there DOT tires, they made a point to state that the "measured" rim width is not necessarily ideal for that tire...that its basically mandated to measure a give tire size on a given rim.

"For our radial tires a good rule of thumb is to take the tread width dimension (+-) 1/2 inch. This will put you in the optimum range for the tire. The tire will mount on a wheel outside of this range, however performance and wear may be negatively affected.

If you find that your vehicle, or the rules, will not allow a wide enough wheel for the tire you think you would like, consider using a narrower tire. In most cases a properly sized wheel/tire combination will outperform a wider tire on a wheel that is too narrow.

If you are looking at our DOT bias racing tires the tolerance is a bit broader. For our DOT bias line we publish a "measured rim" or "design rim" dimension. This dimension simply indicates the width of the wheel the tire was mounted on when the other listed dimensions are recorded.

...

Whenever a D.O.T. tire spec is published there are Tire & Rim Association guidelines for the specific rim size for a particular tire. This is intended to standardize the information so that it is possible to compare one brand of tire to another.

For performance uses these Tire & Rim Association recommendations may not reflect a best choice or the designed application."

Keep that in mind

Aaron turned me on to this set up and it works fine.

I put 315 GSCS tires on my front 9.5" rims. No problems mounting, steering was not as precise as 275, but braking was excellent. I was surprised that the bulge was not real noticeable.

T1 guys run 315 on front 10" rims.

What would be the best size to run in the front with the 315's in the rear - 295's?

That's what this guy is doing

275 i would say
