SILVER 97

I would like to put 18's all around. :D

Has anyone done so? Comments would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I just got done reading an article in the new issue of Vette and they tried several different wheel and tire sizes. You can do it with no problem :cheers:

Cool, thanks for the info,

I thought that there might be a rubbing issue. Also I thought I heard of problems with the ABS/Traction control system.

Hopefully not.

Any other thought's :confused:

There you'll find some advise to maintain the front/rear tire size difference. I would think the taller 18" wheels with 45 tires could present a rubbing issue on front but I don't really know. Have you considered the change to your speedo (slower with larger diameter tires)?

So the back rims will work on the front without rubbing?

I have read similar posts, and there is always a warning about the taller tire up front causing havoc with active handling.

Looks like the jury is still out on this one :eek:

On my street car I run 285's front with 295 rear. The only issue I have had is when the car was lowered too much the top of the tires would rub the inner fender. I rasied it back up a 1/2" and it now clears. Wheels are stock y2k 18" all around. I do run a fair amount of neg camber. 1-2 degrees.

Thanks T1Z06,

My car is currently lowered as well. No problem bringing it back up a little.
