Default Wheel/tire size question......

I have a chance to buy a set of factory C5 Z06 wheels (17x9.5 and 18x10.5), with 275 40 17's and 305 35 18's. I checked on the tire size calculator, and the fronts are perfect height, backs are .3 inches taller. My concern is the width of these tires....will the fronts or rears be touching any parts, or too close for comfort to other parts with these wider tires? Thanks!

I have searched the sizes/fitment on CF, but haven't found the exact answer.

I'm running those rim, and tire sizes on my 2000-Coupe, it's lowered on stock bolts, with no problems.

Perfect. Thanks! Started at $700, but down to $550 with NT555 R series with about 90% left. Probably should go jump on the deal!
