There are some of the venders that have 18/12's available that would allow you to run 335's on the rear and 18/11s would fit without any problem and you could go 305 or even 315 on the rear.

rim size

on the rear i have 285-30-20 on an eleven inch rim, although i know that continental makes a 305-25-20 which will fit my rim much better. As for performance i'm hoping the continental will give me better traction than my current michelins (285-30-20) which came in a wheel and tire package give me. From reading other threads though, it seems as if you want performance you will need to go with a smaller rim size in order to get a better tire. There is not much of a selection for 20 inch rims.

I have the stock rims in the chrome version on mine and am looking into buying 315's for the rear, I just cant find a good set to buy right now. I havent personally seen 20's on a vette around here yet but I would assume it would look alirhgt. Personally I would stick to 18's but thats because I havent seen any bigger yet!
