Question about wheels and tires
I'm looking for a set of wheels and tires for a 98 Corvette, and wanted 18 fronts and 19 rears. Is there any problem with putting 19s all around? The standards are 245 45 17 and 275 40 18. Found someone selling 245 35 19 and 275 35 19. Will this work? Is the tire narrower or wider. I know nothing about buying tires or rims, so any help would be appreciated.

Re: Question about wheels and tires (vettelvr61)
Those tire sizes should work fine. Both f/r sizes (overall diameters) are almost identical to the stock sizes. The width will be about the same as stock. The sidewall of the tire will be shorter, but that's because the rim diameter is bigger.
