Opinions on increasing rear tire size on a 2004 MN6 Coupe with Z51 to 295 /35 /18 - PS2?

According to the fitment chart on this tire - you need at least 10" wide wheel. Stock thin spokes are 9.5" wide......you'll probably be okay with it. I run a 305-30x19 PS2 (which I really like BTW) on a wheel that is according to the same fitment chart that is 1/2" too narrow. the end result is that I have a little thicker rim protector and it looks just fine.

Bottom line - I think it will be fine.

Thanks Randy! I personally think a wider "rim bumper" looks awesome.

I just also lowered the car - so the tires should look
