I know I've seen base cars with 325s in the rear but you'd have to have an aftermarket wheel with just the right offset to do it.

I hate when a poster starts a thread and then never responds to the follow up question.

lots of good info in here. In case the OP has just the stock C6 wheels and has no intentions of getting CCW or any after market wheels, what’s the widest tire that could be put on a stock base C6 REAR wheel?

asking for a friend. Lol

lurker? Lol

I joined the forum in 2006 and didn’t get a Vette until 2013, but if I took the time to start a thread, I’d regularly check it to see if people responded to my question.
