need advice on c6 zo6 tire size on my c5 base
Picking up some c6 zo6 wheels for my 2000 model base series. I need some new tires and wanting suggestions for the proper size to fit best with the c6 zo6 wheels and 3/16 spacers.

Factory GM C6 z06 wheels in C6 sizes (18-19)?
Or repro C6 Z06 wheels in C5 sizes?
If they are factory C6 sizes you can run the factory sizes on them, I would NOT run the spacers, they will already stick out quite a bit.

They are factory zo6 c6. I was under the impression you had to run spacer on the c5 to keep them from rubbing

as i said on facebook, I run a 1/8" spacer to keep them from rubbing the inner liner. I run 245/40-18 front and 325/30-19 rear. You can run the 275/35-18 for the front, if you want wider.

i am torn on this i see some pics that look like the tires stick out a lot when you mount c6 z06 rims on a c5 vette..but when i have seen them in person they really don't look bad at all...so i guess its just preference really
