Canute

I have a 2006 Z51 coupe and I want more tire on the front, but I like the Comp Gray wheels. Will the rear wheels fit on the front? How wide of a wheel can I fit on it?

I doubt the offset would be right.

I'm running 18x10.5 inch fronts with stock C6 fenders. Tires are 295 Toyo R888s. No rubbing on stock alignment.

How much tire can I fit reasonably on those stock wheels? I used to run 275s on my Mustang with 9" wide wheels.

The biggest I've personally seen on a vette were 285's. Much bigger than that and the tramlining would probably be pretty miserable...

I had this same question a couple of years ago on my 2000 C5 - I thought you could get away with anything that didn't rub.

I did some research - i think at tire rack or maybe i just Googled it.

There are guidelines that specify what the min and max tire widths are for a particular rim width. has to do with whether the sidewall runs pretty much straight up and down or whether it gets pinched in or bows out.

i think a good tire store or manufacturers site would get you the info you need.
