Do any of you drive the 315-30-18 square set up with factory Z06 rear wheels at all 4 corners on the street? I was wondering if while good for track handling such a set up was tough to live with on the street.

It's going to follow lines and cracks in the road a lot more than a narrower front tire, for sure

Thanks.......no spacers required, although I have ran with 5mm spacers on the rear with no issues.....but again, no spacers are required to clear anything. Also, i have coilovers on the car now.......but in the above pic it's lowered on aftermarket bolts

yes and as already stated, the car "hunts" in the grooves in the road more. other than that it doesn't present any real problems. I do try not to turn the wheel to full lock however ... depending on your suspension set up you could get a bit of rubbing on the control arms etc. I wouldn't recommend running that large a tire on a street only car.

18' all around
Due to stock tire availability I am thinking of going to 18 inch rims on the front. planning on using 275-35/18 on stock rear rims for front and staying with 295-35/18 for rears. Looking at Conti Extreme DWs.
Will this set up cause any traction / active handling problems and how will it look vs stock sizes? appreciate any pics with this combo.

I have 18's all around with no problems ...PS2's 275/35/18 front , on 9.5 rim , 315/30/18 with 10.5 rim on the rears with no problems w/ coilovers also. I don't track the car or take it to the drags. No traction or act handling problems, 660 HP ....Going to Toyo R888, need traction.
PS - I bet you can't wait for this snow to melt - I know I can't! I think you guys got even more snow than we did here in Ontario!
