Default tire question

i know this has been probably been asked alot.. but will a Z06 rear tire fit on a base coupe wheel? so right now its 285 and the z is 325 from what i remember for every 25mm is 1 inch.. it would be about 2 inches wider could the coupes wheel handle that? and what about the wheel well?

305 is the max and outside the tire mfr recommendations. Lots have done it no problems.

I did some research in shopping for new wheel & tires and found an 11" wheel will fit and you can squeeze a 325 on it as guys do and I did a 305 onto a 10" wheel. 315 would be more within the limits recommended for an 11".

Good luck
