93 vette - P275/40ZR17 on a 255/45r17 front tire/rim fit?
I'm getting a good deal on a couple of P275/40ZR17 tires, and I have 255/45r17 tires in front. I just want to know if they'll fit?

Yep.
Although your speedo would be off 0.9 mph if they were mounted on the rear, on the front they would be fine.
If your tires are original sizes, then the 275's in front would go great with the 285's in the rear..
edit: I guess you need a least a 9 inch rim for them to work in the front.

But he needs a 9" front rim to have a correct fit.
The stock rim for his 255/45-17 tire is only 8.5"

If you have 93 stock OEM are a staggared set;
17x8.5 in the front - 17x9.5 in the rear.
The 93 ZR-1 came with 17x9.5 front/17x11 rear
17x8.5 in the front - 17x9.5 in the rear.
