C6 rim questions
Ok so I bought some original C6 rims off a corvette guy and I'm debating on what tires to put. His corvette had P245/40R18 up fronts and P285/35R19 on the back. Should I stay with the same size or should I get different tires. Your opinion please. What kind of spacers do you recommend. I've searched and I found that you can use 2 or 2.25 inch spacers. Which one should I use. Also take into consideration that I have a 4th gen rear end installed. Any help and pics would be appreciated.

wheel size is up to you. personly i dont like alot of rubber hanging over the rim. but bigger rubber will fit on the rim and in the well.
i have 2001 vette rims with 2inch spacers in the front and back. with a forth gen rear end i dont think you will need any spacers but i am not 100% on that one

my mom has c6 rims on her c5 and she ended up getting a 1" adapter for the rear. that put the tire just in side of the wheel well. with out the adapter the wheel would not fit it would hit inner wheel well, it needed atleast 3/4" to clear. A f-body may be different, I'd bolt it up and go from there

What size of tires are your running all around trigger GTA? I'm looking to leave stock ride lift in the back but a wider tire. Any ideas

it might up front.
i know a few poeple running that size some do and somedont.its right on the edge. if the car is lowered then there is a very good chance it will rub. i have one car that will rub with stock rubber because of the drop.
i cant say. best would be to check with a tire shop. and even then the only way you will truely know is when its on the car.
