Hi Dale! The tire will fit, but highly NOT recommended for autox. Kumho and I recommend 18x 10.5. I've mounted them on 18x11 CCWs too and work well, but a little hard to pull the sidewall to the wheel during mounting for TirePros.

with Darrell,
It will fit but it is really not recommended. Get some stock Z06 18X10.5 wheels. You can run those all the way around if you like too, but I don't know what series you run in, so the rules could prevent that. Best to check that out first.

Yes, as long as you are not "slammed", they will only rub at full lock as long as you have a wheel with correct offset (like oem z06 rear).

Yes, stock rear C5 Z06 wheels. I'm surprised! It's just lowered on the stock bolts... and not all the way... maybe .75" in the front.

Hey Aaron. With the new Kumho plant going up in my home town of Macon, any chance of a plant tour or a "loaner" set of slicks?
