Default Max Tire Size

What is the Widest 18" Rear tire I can run on my C5 Vert without a tub or flares, I'm running Baer Eradispeed +2 Rotors with Stock Calipers.
Stock tire is 275/35/18, I noticed Z06 is 295/35/18 I don't want to adjust for increase in diameter so aspect ratio will remain the same @ 35
Will 295's fit??

295/35-18 Rim Width Range...... 10.00 to 11.50

your OE wheel is only 9.5"

no that size will not fit correctly unless you also purchase some wider wheels.

He was asking if they would fit the car. Maybe you should read the question before posting.

Default Wheel Fitment

Thanks
Now let me understand this.
The 295 will fit the wheelwell without rubbing but they will need to be on a 10.5 to 12 wide wheel Correct?
I guess if I just pick up some Z06 rims front and rear then that will work.
Thanks again for your responses.
