Default 315s on stock Z06 wheels??

Does anyone know from first hand experience if you can get away with 315/30-18s on the rear with the stock Z06 wheels? I’m considering buying some Michelin R compound tires and at this point in time Tire Rack only has them available in 315s rather than 295s.

Thanks in advance.

I have 315-30 18 BFG drag radials and they fit just fine.

I have ran these on my old YELLOW 03 Z and they fit GREAT but do kick up a ton of little rubber specs from the soft rubber on your rear bumper cover when driving aggressively but that is the price we pay for nice stickies, which acutally bogged my bolt on Z with 4.10 gears on the street=(THESE BAD BOYS HOOOOOKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Michelin R compounds are great tires. However, and it is a big however, they are road racing tires and take a few laps to heat up to race temp and pressure. they are very pressure sensitive to grip. a pound too high or low here or there have a huge difference in grip.

These tires are NOT drag racing tires or street tires at all.
