Default Need tire size pictures!

Do any of you have pics of your Z06 stock height, stock wheels with either 255/40/17's or 275/40/17's on the front? Thanks

Any comments on either size?

The 275/40 is really only about half an inch greater in diameter than the 255/40. Why not run the 275/35? That has about a half inch diameter less than a 255/40 and you still get a wider tire.

If you want a wider tire up front a 30 tall tire might be your best option

I don't believe they make a 235-75-17 unless it's an uber expensive race tire
