My buddy has access to some Toyo R888 305/30/18 scrubs and I was wondering if that would be an OK setup to run square on 4 C5Z rears on my C6Z. Im hoping it keeps it neutral but am not certain. Also its always nice to be able to rotate those bad boys

I wasnt sure if that OD was too small. Also, I've heard conflicting information regarding the traction control and abs.

If thats no good, is there any advance to...
275/35/18
335/30/18

Thanks

as long as the rims are not too wide for the tire the 305 will be fine. many people have run the 18 inch z06 all the way around. it all depends on how much money you are willing to plunk down on rims.

18 rear z06 all the way around IMHO is a good way to get a taste of sticky tires for minimal cost on your car

I guess I was more concerned about the height (30) of the tire than anything else. But from the sounds of it, I'll be ok.

run in comp mode and shouldnt have any issues

I've run all sorts of scrubs, from 285 - 315 in various diameters. As long as you run TPM's, you probably won't have any issues. I run with AH/TC shut completely off, and haven't had any issues even without sensors.

Tire Pressure Monitors? I didnt realize that was a must. My bimmer threw a light but thats about it. Like I said before, I'm a Vette newb!

Where's a good place to pick up a set of those enexpensively?

Wah

305s up front will tend to rub. Offset must be perfect to pull this and wheel can't be too wide.

Can anyone confirm if 305s on a stock C5Z rear wheel will rub up front?

dvandentop

i run 305 hoosier up front it does not rub unless doing a full lock on the steering wheel which one doesnt do on a road course so no worries

m3to335

Same wheels too huh?

ccw 18x11 in front and 18x12 in back

You want to take the factory 325s on 12" rims and downsize to 305s on 10.5" rims in the rear
Most everyone is running 12 or 13" rims on 325/335/345 tires in the rear!
