I just picked up a set of Z06 black polished wheels. They are 18 x 9.5. I am doing some research on oh wide of tires will fit under my fenders. Who has experience with this? I was looking to hopefully fit 275's in the front and 315's in the back. Any clue on this?

 

oh yeah, and I have spacers obviously to make these fit. I think they're 2.5" spacers

 

I run 2" spacers on mine
fronts are 275/35's and ive got 285/35 out back with plenty of room

 

Awesome, thanks a lot, I think that size look real good on there. What type of tires do you have on there? Do you like them? I was thinking about going with some Nitto NT555RII's of the Toyo Proxies RA1's There pricey but hopefully will be worth it.

 

a 315 is not a good fit on those wheels, they should be wider for that.

 

285 max on 9.5 rim....

 

My buddy has a 9" wheel and he's got 315's on the rear of his, takes it to the strip and everything, never had a problem.. Hmm. Thats why I was asking tho, 315's seemed a little too big for the rim width. Thanks guys.

 

fronts are hankooks, alway been a fan and never any trouble

backs are MICHELIN PILOT SPORT's i gt off a corvette and there a nice street tire.

 

check the vette wheel post. there is alot of info on there that will help. on a 9'' wheel 285's would be max. im running 275's on 17by 9.5 and 305's on 18 by 10.5.

 

Thanks, I have hankooks on the original wheels that are on now. I haven't had too much problems. They started cracking pretty quickly though it seemed to me.

Thanks a lot I will go check it out.

 

but what size wheel is it? 315 is meaningless without the wheel diameter and aspect ratio.

im sure you can squeeze a 315 on a 17x9 wheel, but that doesnt mean its recommended, or correct.

 

Yeah it is a 17 x 9 wheel

I think he said the aspect ratio was 45. But I am not for certain. Ill have to check and get back to you.

 

Just checked and the aspect ratio is 45.

 

I decided I want to pick up a set of Toyo Proxies RA1. There mighty pricey but hopefully be well worth it. Heres the link:
