I need to know if 345/30/19's will fit a Z06 wheel without problems. I don't want run flats. Please help...

It will fit the 12" rim but the Z06 wheels will not fit a regular C6without Z06 fenders. If you have the Z06, get the tires you want. 345's look a bit stretched on the 13" viper wheels.

too run a 13" rim you may also need longer axle studs and a spacer so the rim and tire do not rub on the inner wheel well.

Still may stick out beyound the zo6 fender as well.

Go to Tire Rack's site for the fitting the wheel portion.

Get under the back and measure/assess the difference. (e.g. if you're running 325's see what 10mm each side will do. Be sure to allow for verticle wheel travel.)

They look awesome on my car but I have the Z06 fenders on the rear.
I also have 19 x 12.5 rear rim.
