Default Z06 c5 tire size

stock tire on fronts are 265/40/17
backs 295/35/18
tires that I want do not come in 265/40/17 ,so did I go 255/40/17 or 275/40/17
Or did I look for other brand
I have had the car for 2 months and it is storage for winter

Id go with the 275/40/17. Not much larger and doubt would have any issues. Do a search and you'll find the info your looking for.

Currently have Kumho Mx on the car back and front. When they wear out looking at the Hankook Ventus V12.

Does this imply a 275/295 stagger? I wanted to run NT01s, but that'd stick me with a bigger than stock 275/315 stagger. Guess I'll keep rocking the el cheapo Potenzas that came with the car and get a square setup for the track so my tire selection isn't dominated by my stock rim size. No way in hell am I paying $400 for a damn street tire.

I was thinking of running 18" Z06 wheels on the front but concerned they would stick out. Do your 18"s stick out. Any chance you could post a photo?

No problems running NT01 with the 275/315 stagger on stock wheels.

That's a massive stagger though, 10mm bigger than stock, wouldn't it induce slightly more understeer?
