There are just terrible selections for 345 25 20 that is presently on this car. Pzero are like $750 each then Nitto Invos which it has now and they are far from a great tire. I was really wanting PSS or sport cup 2s but they only come in 345 30 20. Looks like they would be about 1.2 maybe even 1.3 inches larger in diameter. That looks to be the max gap I have left right now. I know I sound like an idiot but if the diameter is say 1 inch larger does it in fact decrease wheel gap by 1 inch or 1/2 inch ? If it is half the increase in diameter I think I will be fine. Seems to me it would be 50% of whatever the increase is on diameter. Still might be close but I know I have atleast an inch gap right now.
Check out picture below for how the 345 25 20s sit. I have larger fenders than normal widebody but I believe I also have a different offset. I couldnt tell if there was a spacer in there. coilovers are adjustable so I could also raise the car a little if I had to.
Oh and I would also have to go with 298/285 30-20 for fronts and currently they are 295/25-20 so same issue up front.
Does not look like your sticking out of the fenders. With aftermarket wheels that move the wheel farther outward and NOT inward im fairly positive that you will have no problem with 345/30/20's. If your wheels are wide enough you may be able to get a 305/25/20 on the front but it will be very close. A 295/25/20 will work though, nothing XXX/30/20 will work on the front and look proper.
Ive searched this extensively and i find it shocking more corvette owners havent done this. 345/25/20 looks horrible to me on a stock height car and not all of us have the luxury of being able to lower and still get A to B. But from what ive read on this it seems most corvette owners wont do anything tire rack says isnt correct
My intention is to try and fit 345/30/20 rears with either 295/30/19 or 305/30/19 fronts (height is what im after) so that i can lower the car ~1/2" and maintain the same level of ground clearance it has now.
I think you'll be fine with the 345-30/20 tires, you might want to raise the car up a bit to maintain some kind of clearance. Toyo tires have some options in a 20 inch tire

Okay so Im good for the rears most likely. Problem is sport cups and PSS dont come in a 285 or 295 25 20. Only 30- 20s......
295s are it for the front. These Nitto Invos are already about touching when wheel is turned 100%.
FYI the rims on rear are 13 inch and backs are 10 or 10.5. I think they are 10.5.
Wait I just looked and they do have a 285 25 20 pilot super sport. Weird because when I looked at available sizes they didnt show it. Did search and found them at several places. Considering going PSS up front and Sport cup 2 in the rear. Atleast I wouldnt have to replace the fronts all the time.
