315/30/18s front and 345/35/18s rear if you are running 18s all around. If you don't want to have problems with the nanny's. Any larger will cause fender rub problems. JD

Then run 295/30 R18 or 315/30 R18 on the front and 345/30 R19 on the rear. I have run both of the front sizes on stock wheels and the 345/30 R19 on stock rear wheels.

Are you running stock 18's or aftermarket? If stock - any caliper clearance issues with the C5 Z6 wheels?

Steve,
With a 315/30 R18 on the front and 345/30 R19 on the rear does this allow any of the nannies to kick on or does it run smoothly? Is this the size you would recommend?

I would run the 295/30 R18 on the stock front wheel. The 315 is a bit too wide for the front stock wheel. I have a couple of sets of CCW wheels and one set of stock track wheels. One set of my CCW's are stock width and the other set is 11" wide fronts and 13" wide rears. I run the 295's on the stock 9.5" width and 315 on the 11" wheels.
With 295/30 R18, front and 345/30 R19, rear, I have no issues with the nannies.

I run 295's in front and 345's in rear on stock wheels in both R6 and A6 without issues. Been running them for 3 years with no problems with nannies or rubbing.
Are you guys who are running 315's on the stock 18x9.5 rim having any issues with the tire at all? Are you using them on track like that and if so, do you have any pics of the fronts mounted up?

I only run the 295 width tires on the stock 9.5" wheels and the 315 width on the 11" CCW's. Sorry if I confused you in my earlier post. Also, Jim Dillon runs the 315 width on 11" rims.
