Default Tire Size Help
Ive got a set of replica C7 Z06 wheels 17x9.5/18x10.5 on a base model can anyone tell me a tire size combo that would work well on this setup I planned on using the C5 Z06 tire sizes of 265/40-17 & 295/35-18 but don't seem to be much selection out there in this size frame.

Yep its getting harder to find wide tires for 17s anymore. Expand your search for widths and you might get lucky something can work on a 9.5 wide. Really you're better off with 18s front and back.
