Wheel/Tire Question
My 92 coupe currently has 275/40-17's on 17X9-1/2 rims front and 315/35-17's on 11" rims rear. I am considering going with Z06 rims all round. My question is this; how wide a tire can I put on the rear 10-1/2" wide Z06 rims. I know 295's are what the factory issues, I just love the contact patch my 315's give and don't want to give up any more than I have to.

You can put 315's on them, but I don't know if you'll actually get any more contact patch than with 295's. They'll just balloon slightly.
IMHO, I'd just do 295's. They will fit and look much better than 315's on a 10.5" wheel.
