Default Help Hurry!

Before this deal passes up, we all know how much tires cost. And Im not too concered with performance on mine right now just got done with a tranny replacement so im a little strapped for cash. Anyway, Craigslist has a set for new Hankook (not a fan of the brand) tires 295/45/18. Was just wondering if the thickness (45) too thick for a stock height z06?

Guy running 295/40R18's and they look to fit fine. I've never personally heard of anyone running 45's in the rear. I would look around more for the 'correct' size tire...besides, it would definately look funny

I would say those would be too tall, not only for clearance issues but it might screw up the active handling system.
