- 1988 with z51 or z52 package
- all 1988-92 Corvettes (except ZR1 which got 11x17 on the rear)
- 1995 pace car replicas
There will be no rubbing on a '93 using one of those wheels, since there were no suspension-related changes '93. GM just put narrower wheels on the front in '93 - for what funny reason ever.
Why larger? You can drive 275/40-17 all around or 275/40-17 on the front and '93 factory size 285/40-17 on the rear.

Yeah, a common problem if you got wide tyres on your car. But I doubt that going from 275 to 245 is more than a drop in the bucket on this. My dad used to drive an Opel Omega B (known as Cadillac Catera in the U.S.) with 235/something-17 all around. Even narrower than the front tyres of the '93 Corvette, but the problem on rutted roads was the same.
