18x10.5s ordered.....need tire feedback
Ok CF folks....I need some tire feedback..
I just ordered a new set of 18x10.5s Speedlines from Bob for my 2002 z06.....The car currently has stock sizes all the way around....265/40/17 up front and 295/35/18 out back.......these tires have maybe 5k on them so I am hoping to throw some 275/35/18s on the front set and roll that way....
I want to get all the useful life I can out of my T1rs that I put on the car and am trying to save some cash...can you blame an old guy
I am wondering two things....
1) Will the active handing get all bent out of shape
2) How do you think it will perform and look(some vanity concerns lol)
I am probably going to get the new wheels PC'd too...not sure what color but I am getting these to swap to the c6z06 brakes in the future!
Drop some feedback here! Thanks for your help and thoughts.....

You'll be fine with that tire size - that's what I run up front (305/35/18 out back). AH and TCS will be fine. As for looks.....the fronts will sit out about 1/4" - it's only noticeable at certain angles
