Tire Size Recommendations
I just purchased a set of Chrome Cray wheels for my wife's 99 coupe. Fronts are 18X9.0 and rears are 19X10.5. What size tires should I go with with these wheel sizes?

245/40/18 front & 275/35/19 rear. These tires are the same height as stock, so the speedo, AH & TC will function properly.
If you wanted a wider tire set up, then go with 265/35/18 & 305/30/19. This size will be ~ .4 shorter than the stock tires.
What are the offsets on the Cray wheels?

Nice choice in wheels for Lori Wayne
Did you get the new Manta wheels? I am really thinking about getting a black set of the Cray Manta wheels when they become avialable, but my LSD door kit is next up when spring comes around
Cant wait to see pics, as I have been wondering what size to go with as well.
Congrats on the new wheels Lori

Hi Wayne,
The rims look great. I wish they did custom sizes as I like the way the grey Manta's look.
BTW, I alway go over to TireRack.com and look up tires to see what fits on the rim.
Just pick a Brand tire and Specs and see what fits on a particular rim. I like the Michelin PS2's.

Basically got an email from Tom the founder of Corvette Anonymous, we joined when we were at Carlisle, yesterday informing the members of the wheel sale. I emailed the guy last night and called him today when we got home and bought the wheels. There were pic's of the wheels in the email I recieved so we were able to check them out even before I sent the email.
