I am sure this has been written many times. Can I run 18" front 19" rear on my 2002 Z06? Can't seem to find a good, if any 17" 18" tires!! Want to run 305's on rear! Any help works.

Nitto NT01s can be had in the 305 flavor now for your factory 18s.

I'm going to be running 18x9.5 up front, with 275-35-18's, and will be running a 19x11 in the rear, with 305-30-19's up front. It's important for you to have those sidewall sizes if you run an 18/19 combo so the total wheel diameter is the same, and your Traction Control System won't get all messed up and speedo won't get off, etc. I bought Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position S4 tires. Haven't mounted them yet, but the price was right and they got good reviews.
