what tire sizes?
I just ordered a set of wheels for my vette (finally), but I need to get new tires too - I'm just not sure on the sizing
18x8.5 fronts, 19x10 rears
I assume 295 on the rears, but what sidewall? and I have no idea for the fronts

I would run a 245/40 or 255/40-18 tire on the front, but I would go with a 285/35-19 for the rear (second choice would be a 295/30-19 - I think a 305 is too wide (ideally) for a 10" rim).
