Default Wheel and Tire Question

Not sure if I am beating a dead horse or not on this....but I just purchased and picked up a set of stock Z06 wheels and tire sizes...are there any fitment or size issues I need to be aware of with this new combination. or are they straight bolt on. Also, what is the wides tire that is recomended for the stock rears..... They look to be a lot wider than the stock thin spokes for my y2k FRC....TIA,

Jon

Z06 tires and wheels are a direct bolt on for a standard C5.
IF i remember correctly 285 width is the max for stock wheels

check out tirerack.com
select tires by size

type in a 275 width and check specs it will show the rim width range
do the same for 285 and 295

The answer will be found in the presented details

I want to say 295's, but I think someone has done 305's.
