Be careful with Firestone
FYI. I recently bought 18X10.5's for the back of my FRC and mounted Firestone Wide Ovals 295/35/18. They just don't fit the same and almost look streched. Should have got 315's. Hindsight is 20/20.

Do they offer them on 315's? Can you post a pic, i hate seeing tires that are too narrow for the rim. I hate when they look like they bow in. I would rather have a flush tire or one that bows out.

I bought the same tires for my Z06 and yes they looked stretched. Worst of all the car handles terrible with them on. My stability control is constantly kicking in during mild maneuvers. I'm going to try and get my money back.
