Default Front Tire Size

Have an 06 Z06 and am currently running 295x30x18 Hoosier R6s. Someone gave me a pair of 305x30x18 Hoosier A6s. Can I use them?

No problem what so ever! Get some camber up there so you don't cord the outside edge though!

What size rims do you use with the 305/30/18 tires on the front of the C6 Z06? Do you use C5 Z06 Rear 18 X 10.5 or the C6 Z06 Front. 18 X 9.5 ?

I went to the Hoosier Tires website and found that they don't sell R6 or A6 tires in 305/30-18 sizes. They sell 295/30-18 and 315/30-18, but no 305s. Are you sure the tires are 305s?

The Hoosier website recommends a 10" rim (9.5 to 11") for the 295/30-18 tire. They recommend an 11" rim (11 to 12") for the 315/30-18 tire.

The tire is a 305 Hoosier. Its older cause the guy had them for a while in his garage but they are new. I've got an 06Z and am currently running with stock Z06 chrome wheels.

Hoosier S03 or S04? You'll definitely cord the sholder without a lot of camber.
