Default 27" tall x 12"+ wide for 18" wheel??? Who?

I'm trying to find a good road tire for my C5 Z06 in something close to 27" tall and at least 12" wide that will fit on my 10.5" wheels. Does anyone make such a critter? Anyone, any version at all?

Wha????

Your question doesn't make much sense? What size tire are you looking for ie. 305/35zr18 or what size are you standard tires you run now, that may help....?

Just what it says. Actual sizes of tires seem to vary so much I'm trying to find an 18" tire that measures around 27" tall and at least 12" wide. Having a hard time finding something like that. All I see are tires around 26" tall or anything over 27" goes too wide to fit my 10.5" rims.

There just may not be the size of tire I'm looking for?

Hi. You are correct . It would be hard to get 27'' tall tires for the 18's wheels without being too wide for 10.5 . You must give up something .

Just in case , I have Two new 345-30 ZR18 Michelin Cups for sell , that are 14 inch wide but you need at least 11.5-12 '' wide wheel to make it a dream . FYI , they fit with stock fenders , I've done it . Check my threads , if you're interested .

I've got some MT DR's that size and finding some wheels to fit them was just more $ than I wanted to spend. I got some Toyo Proxes 315/35/18 that will fit on the stock wheels and match my nitto NT01 in that size for width (about 12.5") but they are 1" taller (26.7") which is what I was looking for and at $550 much cheaper than finding a wheel for the huge by large DR's, especially when they may not see much use during the year.

Thanks!

The Falken Azenis RT615K's come in a 295/40/18 that is listed as 27.2 inches tall by 11.8 wide, should fit a 10.5 wheel nicely.

Sweet! Of course I just bought the Toyoyoyos. But maybe they would work for a dd setup, as these toyos don't like rain.
