Default Tallest tire fit on a c6
Has anyone been able to fit a 30" tall tire on a c6 with stock rails?

Morris and Carlye both use or are trying to use the 30in 315 on their cars.. So it's got to be possible.

Not telling how
Much trimming is involved.

My M&H which meaure at 27.2 inches with the car sitting on the ground, rub a little on dips on the highway. Other than that they never touch.

I currently run 27.4 inch tires. I know 28s fit but with the new setup I was wanting to run the 315 pros(with the solid 8.8)
