Largest front tire?
What is the largest front tire that you can run on a C6ZO6 with stock rims and stock suspension and not have any rubbing?
Would like to use 295 35 18 and 345 30 19 Invos,but want to be sure there is no rubbing.
Where is the cheapest Invo prices

I have the 295/35-18 Nitto NT05's on the front of my 09 Z06. I have not had rubbing in street use, but do have some minor rubbing (at about the 2 O'clock position) on the inner lip of the outside front fender liner in HPDE events.
There was a thread on Invo pricing yesterday that had some good info.

I ran the 295X35X18 PS2 but had a little rubbing at the normal place which is the outside 1/4 of the front part of the fender well. I took one of the 4 suspension spacers (2.5mm) out of both rear upper control arm bushing bolts to slightly angle the a-arm back about 3mm. I rotated the rear lower suspension eccentric in about 2.5mm to maintain the stock castor and had the front toe reset. No rub of any kind since and a cheap fix. I wouldn't worry about it and just run the 295 tire. I love mine.

I ran the 295/35-18 NT-95's on the front and got some minor rubbing on the outer front lip when doing HPDE's and a small amount of rum on the plastic front brake ducts on the inside. Neither were any real problem and I would get that size again as it gave good grip and overall handling balance. It you play with the alignment (camber and castor) some people have been able to eliminate that minor rubbing.
