Another Wheel/Tire combo question
Looking to get the Z06 Motorsport wheels/tires. Got a quote from Nate Caro on two sizes:
265x35x18 w/Yoko AVS
295x35x19 w/Yoko AVS
-or-
265x40x17 w/F1 Supercar
295x35x18 w/F1 Supercar
The problem is the fronts sizes have ~ the same diameter but the rears with the 19's are obviously 1" greater in diameter.
Would this not confuse the active handling/abs?
Would the rear end be lifted 1" higher?
Would I have to lower the rear by that 1" for the car to sit stock?
Does anyone have this setup? Pics please.
I would like to go with the 18/19 setup but I don't want to give up to much sidewall. I believe Pirelli has a 305x30x19 that would be closer to the stock rear diameter but that's less sidewall. The roads around here are not pristine and I don't want to bend a wheel.

Re: Another Wheel/Tire combo question (grady)
I have 18" all around - 265x35 on the front and 295x35 on the rear. I do worry some about the thinner sidewall, but no problem so far. I have hit some nasty pot holes too. I prefer a 40 sidewall, but evidently they don't make a 265 or 295x40x18 tire.
If I were doing it all over again - I might go with stock Z06 sizes, giving more sidewall on the front.
