Wheel size advise
I need help with a wheel/tire decision. My 08 base vert is in need of some new tires. If I stay with the stock 18/19 sizes I can only afford the tires. But if I go to an 18 back rim I can go with less expensive tires and manage to get a new set of rims also. I'm specifically looking at the ZR1 reproductions from WCC.
So here's the question, will 18 X 9.5 C5 rear wheels with 285/35 18s fit without sticking out? If 285s will stick out I could go with 275/40s which are app 1/2" narrower, but I don't know it they'll have a detrimental effect on traction or handling.
