Sizing, would this work?...........................
I have a line on some chrome ZO6 wheels/tires.
Size: 18x9.5 (all four.) The offset is +56mm
Tires: 275/35/ZR18 (all four)
Are these too wide for the front of my 99 coupe?

Thanks in advance guys :cheers:

I am not sure if they are too wide, but you will run into some problems with active handling having the same size on the front and rear. The car will also sit a little off since the front will be much higher than stock and the rears the same height as stock. :yesnod:

Those tires aren't too wide for the front, I'm running the same width on mine with no problems. My front wheels are the same width and offset as yours, but 17" diameter, they fit fine, and fill the wheelwell VERY NICELY, sitting just a little further out than the stock ones, but not sticking out.
RAJUN: Those tires are slightly shorter than the stock front tires, not taller. The last set of tires I ran on my 2000 had very little stagger, front to rear, and the ABS and TC worked fine, no codes set, no reduced power codes, etc. :cheers:
