Max front and rear tire width with 4thgen rear and 18x10.5 C5 Z06 rims?
Well the title pretty much spells is out.
I have a 91 Z and I am putting in a 9" rear with 4thgen width (59 1/4 from backing plate to backing plate) and I am buying staggered 18x9.5/18x10.5 set of C5 Z06 replicas. I will be using whatever size spacers are needed in the front.
Also, I am currently running eibach sportline springs,but will be switching to Spohn Coil-overs.
What is the max tire size I can fit without fender modification in the front and back?
Thanks in advance...

the coil overs will be your limiting factor, the coil over setup isn't so great on the front of our cars, i think you can still get away with the 275/35 up front and 295/35 in the rear, the rear may need to have the fender lip rolled, it depends on how low you go. you will need 2.25"-2.5" front spacers
