What size are the rear tires? 275 series tires usually fit back there without problems, and only with 315's might you need to remove the bump stops.
Please get rid of those Corvette turbo fin rims!!

Thank you :). For some reason no one seems to be a fan of those old 'vette rims. I kinda like them so I'll just keep them as the winter wheels lol.

From what I read, stock 2001 Z06 wheels are:
Front: 17 x 9.5" 54mm offset
Rear: 18 x 10.5" 58mm offset

So I believe the back tires will need 295/35/18's and fronts 265/40/17's? I most likely will put Nitto N05's all around since they're more practical than a drag radial for my use. Though it'd be cool :rolleyes:.

Edit: Looks like NT05's don't come in 265/40/17. Can I run 255/40/17's in the front?

Run 275s in the front, that's what came stock on 17" 4th gen wheels.

If they are in fact factory Z06's with 58mm wheels, they might stick about a bit, but 4mm is very small.
