Default can you help? tire sizing.

hey all. I am gonna be running the stock zo6 18x10.5 wheels on all 4 corners. I have 295/35/18's in the rear. what size would you suggest i run in the front? any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.
and i think i read somewhere that the 18x10.5's will clear a c6 zo6 brake swap. can someone confirm this for me please? thanks in advance!

do you have a picture of them? Is your front a 18x10.5? 275/35 sound a little small for that rim. I'm leaning more towards a 285/35/18

No their fine, 265/35/18 would be too small. I don't have pictures i'll get some this week when i take out the Vette. Haven't driven it for awhile. Do a search you'll find it here.
