18 Front 19 Rear Wheels
I have Wildwoods W-AR6 front calipers and to clear I have to use the rear Z06 wheel and running 295/18 square setup.
I am wanting to get different wheel and wondering what people are using for 18 x 10.5 for the front and what are people using for the rear 19 x ????
I was thinking I wanted a 275/35/18 front tire 19/305or315/30or35 rear. Is anyone running this combination.
Thanks
Ron

18 X 9.5 or 10 up front and 19 X 10.5 or 11 should do on the back, anything wider will stick out the rear fenders. Good luck finding your wheels...

Update: Just re calibrated the TPMS with the 18's and turned off stability control. Car feels much better at higher speeds however it does still feel odd when braking very gently at those speeds. I'm thinking the previous owner might of warped the front rotors. Anyone else having weird vibrations in their brake pedal when braking at speeds exceeding 110mph?

I got the iron rotors equipped on my vehicle. Def think the rotors are warped. The car stops on command at low speeds but the faster I go the more vibration I feel in the pedal. I've bled the brakes and it has made a minimal impact on what i'm experiencing.
I'm just going to use my 40% off discount at my local Chevrolet dealer and do OEM pads/rotors - Does anyone recommend another brake pad that will be better than the OEM Brembo pads?
