Re: z06 Wheels
you could run the stock z06 sizes. you will need spacers to use the wheels

Yeah but you have to measure the back spacing of the wheels first. As long as your under 6" of back space with the wheel and spacer together for the rear you will be fine. Here is a chart that I used to determine what I needed.

I went with a P315/35R17 drag radial and they were about 1/8" to 1/4" shorter than the stock height and you wont notice that on your speedo.

Re: z06 Wheels
When you guys say z06 rims are you referring to the 325/30/ZR19 & 275/35/ZR18 c6 rims? If so that would be phenominal....

Those are some skinny tires for a 9.5" wheel.
do your tires looked like they are stretched onto the rim?
Supposed to have 275/35/18 tires on that width.

Re: z06 Wheels
You need a total backspace of 4.6" with the wheel and spacer together for it no to rub. You say you have 2" spacers now and I bet you have a 6.8" to 7.1" backspace on your front wheel. I would jump up to a 2.25" or 2.5" spacer especially if your going to the 275/40s soon.

What is the back space on your wheels? Sounds like this one is going to be tight with 345's...

I have P315/35R17 drag radials and it doesn't rub because I have the right size spacers so the wheel offset is perfect. As in you case 335 is pushing it but I dont see why it wont work with the correct back space with your wheel and spacer combo. What is the back spacing of your rear wheel?
