Tire Size

I bought some new wheels and was wondering what size tires to run now?
The new wheel sizes are 18x10.5 in the rear with 17x9.5 in the front.

The wheels size and width are the standard Z06 size and I think the offset is the same as well. Find out what size tires Z06s use and you're good to go. Post PICS and someone will know what you have.

Incidentally, do you ever make it out to Memphis International Raceway for Test & Tune. There's a pretty big bunch of Camaro and Corvettes from West TN that go regularly. See you there.

Chevrolet put 265/40/17 front and 295/35/18 rear on those size wheels which are stock Z06 sizes. Some manufacturers no longer make the 265 front, so 275/40/17s are an easy bump up.
