Anyone running R888R tires on Z51?
If so, what size do you run and is it with the stock wheels?
Sizes seem really limited, and the closest I can get is:
FRONT:
235/35 ZR19 (smaller than stock)
or
265/30 ZR19 (larger than stock with a lower profile)
REAR:
285/35 ZR20 (same width as stock but larger profile)
or
315/30 ZR20 (much bigger than stock - heard they might work, but what would the contact patch of the tire be like squeezed onto the rim)

I haven't done it yet, but based on my research here, as well as discussions with others that have, I plan on dropping down a size and going with the Toyo R888R's in 265/35ZR18 front and 305/30ZR19 rear on 18x9 and 19x11 Cray Spider wheels to get the proper offsets.

What wheels are these on? I am really shocked you were able to get the 315's on there without them sticking out any more than stock it looks like. That is an extra 30mm, or 1.2", over stock, and you only have 0.2" inside the wheel well. You should be sticking out a full inch beyond stock, but it sure doesn't look like it.
You did stay with 19's and 20's, right? Or did you drop down to 18's and 19's?

Wow, good to know. Thank you for the detail. That is interesting that you put them on the stock wheels. You are splitting the 30mm that way, so you are 0.6" closer to the wheel well on the inside. The Z06 tire and wheel combo is only 0.2" closer than the stock Z51 setup, and you are 0.4" beyond that. I have seen others report rubbing on one side or the other with that close of a setup. Good to know that you were able to make it work without rubbing. Are you lowered at all, or at stock ride height? Any aftermarket suspension changes, or still stock?
