Will a 265/40/17 fit fine on a 17x9.5 rim?
Title says it all.
I've got a set of aftermarket ZO6 wheels in stock ZO6 sizes. Rear will be 295/35/18 which is stock but I thought the stock front was 275/40/17, but I found an ad for the whole set real cheap but the fronts are 265. Will it look ok or not?
These are going on a '90 vert.

They will fit and look fine. Afterall, that is the same wheel and tire size that the Z06 wears from factory. The main advantage of moving up to a 275 tire is that you have many more choices in that size.

That is the exact size tire and wheel that comes on the front of a C5 Z06 out of Bowling Green
