Default Tire Sizes
Does anyone know the largest tires you can fit on factory size C6 Z06 rims. And not have any clearance problems with the fender/quarter panel.

There are guys running 345 and 285s with no problems.

If you go bigger in the rear you must do the front as well to prevent the "Engine Drag" warning.
