Default Need Some help with rims & tires for BB Brakes

I have a 2001 vette with Wilwood 14" brakes & Calipers on all four wheels. The wilwoods calipers are the thin style model.

I really like the CCW Classics and would like to run 18" all around.

I prefer some combination of 275 front and 335's in the rear. What are you guys running on the street ?

My car will be tubbed in the rear.

Thanks.

I have 345 on rear and 275 on front - Michelin PS2s.
Go with at least 285 on front ...or 295.

Classics wont fit without spacers on longer ARP studs. the CCW Corsair wheels have the proper offset and are designed for the BBKs.

I have 18x10 with 18x275/35 front and 18x12 with 18x335/30 Mich PS for the street. and 18x12 with 18x305/30 and 18x13 with 18x335/30 Hoosiers for the track.

I use ARP studs with a 3/8" spacer on the rear for the 18x13" rims. No tubbing but do have 3/4" wider fenders on the back.
