Default Anyone have any pics?

Anyone have any pics of Z06 tires (265/40-17 & 295/35-18) mounted on non Z06 wheels (17x8.5 & 18x9.5) I'm thinking of switching to the F1 Supercars.

Thanks

I doubt you'll want to cram a 265 on an 8.5" wheel.... Can it be done? Probably. Good idea? Probably not.

I do have some pics of that stored away somewhere. Someone here with a white coupe posted them a while back. They looked OK but bulged out on the sidewall a bit to where it looked a little funny to me. I also saw a set in person once and they looked more normal then but they seemed to work fine. I believe you exceed the maximum recommended tire width for those wheels though so I wouldn't do it.
