Just remember that the 18" tires are going to be a lot more expensive than the 17s.

Just remember that the 18" tires are going to be a lot more expensive than the 17s.Check out the Sumitomo HTRZ-2 on tirerack.com. They're grippy, and ran $186 when I bought mine a couple years ago. I think they were 285-35-18s iirc. I have 18x9.5 polished Z06 wheels all around on my 90.

Those are 18" American Racing Longboards.
BTW, my tires are 295/35 out back as well so you can see they don't stick out.

I got them from another forum member (magred2001vette) that had them on his c5. I was checking around at the time I bought them and couldn't find anyone that still carried them. We agreed that AR really missed the boat on selling tons of these because they were not advertized as fitting the corvette.
