I don't recall anyone using a 10.5" wheel in the front with the 295 tires. I would think it would be very close to rubbing if not actually doing it. Hopefully someone who may have tried this will state for sure.

Try it and let us know what happens, but I think 9.5 is the widest you want to go up front.

Try posting your question over in the auto-x/ road racing section. I have seen several post where people are looking for the 18 X 10.5 Z06 rims to run all the way around. There are several people running 315s on 17s all the way around. Some rubbing though on full lock turns.
From what I have read, running equal size tires (width) all the way around results in a more neutral steering car. Stock, the vettes having a tendency to understeer.
