Tire size 315/35/18
Will a 315/35/18 fit on back of C5 zo6 with out rubbing or giving me troubles? I have aftermarket stock style black wheels. So probably
10.5 width I presume. This will allow me to get Toyo drag radials which is same brand as front tires. I have 305/35/18 nitto drag radials now.

wow, didn't know about this tire, seems perfect for stock C5Z wheels and the price is very motivating. I use to get slight rub on running 315/30/18 BFG, more like scuffing, when I hit bumps im assuming or hard cornering. according to tirerack, the Toyo is 12.5" and the BFG is 12.6". I'm curious, though I'll probably bite the bullet and try it myself.

Mounted, fits with no issues
little comparo with my 295/35 BFG KDW
acceptable bulge
12" ruler
side by side
Inner fender clearance, car on ground. should gain a bit more when the suspension settle and pushes it out

Looks good! Do they look good on car? Just a bit taller than 295s it seems? I have 305s now so shouldn't be much difference... Thanks for photos! I still haven't ordered any, been too busy this week.

I'm only now getting to look at them on the car, look good to me. I mounted them an went to test them right away. I use to have to ramp the nitrous progressive controller to be able to hook some at the top of 3rd. I can now give it the full hit in first, and it'll just bark the tires 
They do sit a little taller than my 295s. lil over a half inch taller

I run them too....for a while now. They are good tires. Not as good at the track as the MT's IMO. But, with these you won't even know you're on a drag radial, they are excellent for street tire.
