I don't know the stance your looking for..But.....
Check the diameter of your stock wheels/tires. You will see
the difference between fronts and back. The new tires......
just compare the difference and you got it. You need a min.
of a 1/2 inch higher in back than front, so the computer does not
get confused. Alot of guys run 275 front and 305 rear
depending on offset. Good luck............

I run, 4th set:
Nitto 555
275/40-17 front and 285/35-18 rear
Z06 rims lowered 1",
warning don't get the 295/45-18 or you'll rub the inner fender well. If your buying from on-line vendor purchase the warranty, $20 I think. I picked up a screw in my new tire and they replaced for $00.00.

tire size
Tire companies routinely discontinue nonpopular tire sizes as i recently found out getting a spare for my jeep. Try a different manufacturer w/the same benefits of the nitto. I run a 265/40/19 and a 295/35/20 on my '99....just compensate profile f/r in proportion to the stock sizes even when going wider/taller.
