Default Z06 tire size
So I’ve had this corvette in my family for years now but I don’t know how to find out wheel dimensions they are American racing wheels , I currently have Toyo 295/25/18 in rear and 265/40/17 in front. It is the same C5 in pictures with vortech supercharger. Any recommendations on good meaty tires for traction and with tire specs??

Assuming you mean 295 35 18? Unsure how to measure wheel widths while mounted on the car, but if you have those tires and they look OK you should be good to use the same.

Many times the size and offset is stamped on the inside of the wheel. Have you looked?

The wheel will be stamped on the rear. It will have an "ET" next to it in most cases.
