Re: here some 295's
ZR1's, yeah. Nothing too bad. You will probably need an adjustable panhard bar.

285/35/18 on 18x10 CCW Classics on my IROC.
I currently have 275/40/18 tires on C5 corvette Magnessium wheels on the car right now but I have about 5 different sets to swap out for the car.

275 before I removed the mudflaps. I'm supposed to be picking up some 295s tomorrow, if I do I'll throw up an updated pic whenever they're installed.

Re: Fat Tires...Post Em
it has to do with sidewall construction and compound used. typically a stick shift tire has a much stiffer sidewall.
