Default Tire sizes again

New wheels. Wanna put 275-40-18 on front with 295-35-20 on rear. Don't want a rough ride. Don't track the car. Already have good original rear tires to put on front. Stagger should be within the limits. Speedo should only be off about 1mph or so. Provided I have the right offsets are they gonna clear? Have at guys.

I can only tell you my experience FWIW. The p/o of my Z had undersized tires on my car. Matched sets for C5Z's are very limited, I like the stock wheels, so I went with 275/40 17 in front 295/35 18 rear. The stagger was just within limits so I had no protests from the nanny. Driving characteristics were better with the larger than stock tires on the front.
