Maximum rear tire size?

Does anyone know the max tire size that I can run on the stock rims without rubbing or sticking way out? :confused:

I have heard of others running a 335 on a stock Z06 rim with no problems. But, they do bow a bit b/c the 335 really needs a wider rim.

Check the tire manufacturer's web sites for specifications on what size rims are required for various tires. If you are retaining stock rims the largest recommended tire size will not rub. Example: a 295/18 tire has a recommended rim width of 10 -11.5". ZO6 rr rim is 10.5, reg C5 is 9.5.

I run a 335 which is a Pilot Sport. In reality, it is a "325" compared to others. It is on an 11.5 inch rim, and will rub slightly under most circumstances depending on how low you are, etc.

Check my website for pics under CCW & Minitub:
