I checked Tire Rack, it appears a 315 will fit a 10.5' wide wheel. It's on the lower end of the range but if they say it will fit I'd be comfortable with that.

I'm installing new GY F1's in the 275/40/17 size tomorrow. They will fit/work nicely on the Z. They are slightly taller by .2 inches though.

Good luck

Tom

I think up to 335's will fit on the stock 10.5 rim. Im sure some/most wouldnt advise it since the tire will bow out. When i replace the rear tires i think ill go with a 315/35/18

Will 18x11 rear and 18x10 front wheels fit on a Z with no problems?
I like the C6 wheels, and looking for a change.

No rubbing in the back. The tires fit fine on the stock 10.5" wide rims but I wouldn't put wider tires on those rims.

315/35-18 is a common size autocrossers use for their stock class Z06s (stock rim widths). 275/40-17 and 295/40-17 are the popular sizes used by Z06 autocrossers for their stock front rim widths.

I have put 335/30-18s on the stock rear rims. They fit, and I didn't have rubbing issues, but it is too wide a tire for optimum handling.

That's my set up, and it works just fine.

Car looks bad @ss and in black the wider wheels/tires up front don't show off the black mud flaps like some other colors might.

Cool idea.

Yes, those are Pirelli PZero Corsas. Well, I got them from Discount Tire when TR was having a sale on them. Same price but DT tacked on the sales tax, about $50 more than TR after everything said and done (mount, balance, etc), but I was also helping my inside contact (a friend) at the local DT

I haven't really got much feel out of them. The car just got out of a 6-month hibernation. They are kinda slippery for now because they are still not properly scuffed yet.

Thanks for the comments, guys
