Tire Size

I am sure it's been asked before, but what is the widest tire that can fit on a Z06 rim. I looked on tire rack but it didn't really offer any help. I am looking for front a rears. Can I fit a 285/40/17 on the front and a 305 or 315/35/18 in the back. Do the 305 or 315 stick out at all? Does it look to big for the rim?

I can easily fit 295/315 dot-R tires on my stock wheels. I haven't tried mounting big street tires though.

I know a lot of people run 305's on the stock Z06 wheels. Dunno about the front. Why would you want to go that big in the front? Best of luck

i have 275's on the front and wouldn't want to go any bigger cause they'd stick out. 305's fit just fine on the back
