Default Pics of 315/30/18 on the Front?

particularly for a C6Z ,but would look at anything.

upclose pics would be great, id like to see if they stick out and if so how much.

wheel width and offset numbers would be a huge help too.

planning on running them on 18x10.5 +58 or +56

I think they would work better on an 11 inch wheel. The hot setup on a C6Z is 18x11 front wheels with 18x13 rear wheels running 315/30 fronts and 345/35 rears. Tire diameters are close to stock so TC and Engine Drag Control don't get upset.

I don't have any pictures with the CCW wheels on my C6Z but they did fit well with the car.

Which wheels are these? And are you running a square setup? Or is the rear different?

That's a square setup in the pics, wheels are Factory Reproductions C5Z replicas.

yes they would work better, but ill be running them on repros for ~$225 each wheel. CCW or others are not an option for me.

TC and and AH will be off as ill be running them on a square setup.




Thanks Way2slow!
think the fender flares of the c6Z would provide more coverage? or about the same?

Mine's a C4 not a C6 but I have 18x10.5 speedline Z06 wheels on all 4 corners with 315 30R18 tires. I believe the offset on the wheels is 58mm.

Charger21 - awesome! Do you happen to know the offset or BS on those, and are they different front and rear?

They are all 4 the same. I ordered them to fit over big brakes. Sorry, do not know the offset or BS.

i notice all the 315 square setups are on C5Zs

is there something different that would make this no good for C6Z?

I believe there is a tiny bit more room for a 315 inside a front C5 wheelwell than a C6 wheelwell.

im more worried about balance i meant.
im coming from a square setup and enjoy it. just wanted to make sure a square setup on a C6Z wasnt going to be some over steering snap spin death trap. incase there were any major suspension changes on the c6Z that made this combo no good.
