Tire Question
Hello,
I have a 2002 Corvette and had a tire question.
I have Z06 rims (10.5'' rear tires) with the stock 275/40/18 rear tires.
I have also lowered my car with the factory bolts!
So my situation was that I tried to install Nittos 305's and they seemed to be too big (too tall since it waas lowered)
So my question is if I put the stock Z06 rear tire size with these rims will the have enough clearance?? (295's)
Thank you !

Thats what we are saying. 305 will be the same height if you go down on the second number. Its only wider. If you had 305/40 it would be too tall. 305/35 would fit fine. Most of us have lowered vettes and squeeze wid tires on.
