18's, stock ride height?

I'm looking to get some 18's, will they look dumb without a lowered car?

k, they'd be 18x9.5 z06's. what do you have boyd's? And would the dropzone's work good?
What kind of tire size should I be looking for for these 18's? What would give me the stock diameter? What would be ideal (but cheap haha)?

thanks for any help guys

i have 18x8 in the front and 18x9.5 in the back . I wish i went with a 275 40 18 in the rear. But to get stock size get a 275 35 18 ,check tire rack they have some great prices if you dont care what brand or whatever and they shipped to my house in 2 days. I got yoko avs sport just becasue of the tread pattern.

cool thanks. So you wish you went with the 40 series? So you'd suggest I get that then? You've been a great help so far

well i wish i went with the 40 series on the back because they look too small too me , even though a 275 35 18 is almost perfect it looks small to me. But be warned a 275 40 18 is about an inch taller.
