1989 Z51 Wheel/Tire Upgrade advice
Posted in C4 section and got nothing. I want to go to a 18/18 staggered set of in necessary 17/18. See Nittio NT-05 as tires of choice as my too old BFG KD's are going into recycle and factory rims need to be refinished so upsizing seems the best solution for a spirited driven street car with a built ZZ4 miniram. Thought I found a set of Cray Hawks BUT I was told there were inside clearance issue with the +65mm offset on the 18X10.5 rims with 285 or 295/35/18s. As a "by the way" stock 89 17X9.5 rim with center cap weigh in at a light 26 ibs 13.0 oz.
So my question as I haven't pulled her out of storage yet is, will a 18X10.5 C5 Z06 replica wheel with .57 inches LESS clearance inside fit my car. Really wanted a 275/35/18 front and 295/35/18 rear.
Experienced comments would be appreiated. Thanks Balanced 89
