It's not horribly taller... I wonder if anything would happen when it squats. The nearest I saw that would fit on our wheels would be just a squeak over 29" making them about 2" taller in the rear for the Z06 folks. Though based on calculations, you could technically hit 200mph in 5th gear if you had enough of a runway and a bit more umph.

My Z07 ended up rubbing at the rear on OEM Cup2R tires on OEM suspension at OEM ride height at the track. As such, if you'll compress the rear suspension at a road course track, I'd be weary of using anything tall. If you're on coilovers, though, you might likely get away with it easier if it's not lowered too much..

Something to consider is your ABS system.
It's designed for a certain "rolling diameter", and that will also apply to the front tires.
Two different rolling diameters will cause confusion in the ABS computer and possibly "kick" a trouble light.
