Quick Tire Question for my 98
The factory tire size for the rear is 275/40/18 and 245/45/17 on the front as you all know. Will running front 265/40/17 and rear 295/35/18 cause any issues such as scrubing or throwing the speedometer off?
Im want to buy thinspokes with these tire sizes on them off a 2001 from another forum member and just want to make sure that there are no issues with fitament. Thanks for your imput in advance.

You won't have a problem as long as you have the proper width rim to accomodate these tires, which would be the stock Z06 width. I would not reccomend you mount this size on a factory C5 coupe wheel. The oversize tire will bulge on the sidewall, which looks cool, but it also causes it to bulge in the center, actually narrowing the contact patch with the pavement. Which will be evident by the excessive wear you will see in the center of the tire. Hindering dry weather traction, wet weather traction, and cornering ability. 10.5 in rear and 9.5 in front.
