Default Made a mistake

Alright so me not paying close enough attention I put the wrong tires on the vette.

I put 305/35/18 nt01 on the front
And 335/30/18 nt01 on the rear I mixed up the dimensions when I was doing this on my iPad so now the fronts are taller and my active handling is not happy. So anyway I looked back at nittos website and they have nothing in those dimensions where my fronts can be bigger. Any thoughts??

I have ccw 18x11 fronts and 18x13 in the rear

Side note I will be selling a set of basically brand new 305/35/18 lol

I'm not sure what you are asking.

Seems like you need to go 315/30/18 in the front. That would make the front smaller than the rear and be very close to the stock ratio.

Ya just not sure if I can squeeze a 315 up front. I guess what I am asking is what is everyone else using with this wide of fronts?

I'm running 315/30-18 fronts on 11" wide CCWs, and that works great. 345/35-18's in the rear on 13" wide CCWs. C6 Grand Sport.

Thanks for the input. I will be switching to 315's in the front.

Tucson, az it looks like summit racing might be taking the tires back. I am going to call them again today to confirm.
