Wheel & tire question
Recently picked up a C6 with C5 zo6 wheels.
I ordered Federal 595 evo in 265/40zr17 for the front. My question is they don't make a 595 evo in the 295/35/18 size but they make one in a 285/30ZR18.
Will these fit?

They may fit the rims, but your car will have problems with traction control.
265/40/17 = 25.4" diameter
285/30/18 = 24.8" diameter
The rear tires are shorter than the front. Your car needs the rear tires to be 0.5" to 1.5" bigger tires on the rear to keep the AH/TC computers happy.

What 18" size tire do I need for the front wheels ?
