Size of tires

[serge beauvillier]

I have a 2002 Z06. Do you know what size of tires I can install on these wheels so they will fit under my car ?
Wheels are SR1- Series Apex Front 18X8.5 offset 56
Rear 19X10 offset 65

What about theses sizes:
Front255/35/18 Rear 295/30/19
or Front 265/35/18 Rear 305/30/19

Thanks for suggestions. Serge B.

I would think either of those sizes would work. I run 295/35/17 on the front and 315/30/18 on the rear with the car fully lowered and have only a little rubbing. I have to say that I am not a big fan of these taller and taller tires, though, since it becomes more difficult to house them inside of a fender and it becomes necessary to put narrower tires on so wheels can be turned enough so that the car will corner. That's just me, though.

I thought about putting the same size on the front as on the rear 18X9.5 with the 275/40 18,s Will they rub on sharp turns??

[stevebz06]

Possibly. You won't know until you try it. Tide height and how aggressively you drive will both be a factor. A little bit of rubbing is not too bad.

Change "tide" to "ride". I hope you're not driving in the surf!

Well I put my rear tires and wheels on the front and turned them, they did rub in the front. So I ordered these wheels in the original sizes;

Z06 Wheel Replicas 18x10.5 (Chrome) [WR-1117-8161C] : Lethal Performance, Performance parts for Ford Mustangs

Will get them for Christmas and install them this spring.

You need to watch the OD of whatever you decide to run also. Anything too different fron the stock ratio will screw up the antilock brakes.

HE'S RIGHT!!! I ran these on my 'oo and somehow it triggered the ABS for servicing. Go figure.
