Default help with wheel/ tire sizes for 99 frc

alright, I am starting to get that old itch to go attack some cones with my new toy. I am looking for wheels and want see what everyone else is running on the frc's. I've got zo6 wheels for the street w/ 275's up front and 295's out back. I am wanting to run 295's on frt and 305's maybe a 315 out back. will the 18" 10.5's fit up front, and would it really make a dif to run the bigger set up. I think I am gonna try the kuhmo 710's. what do you guys think?

Can't really help with your setup, but I can tell you that I have run 305's on the stock 18" ZO6 wheel up front with no problems.

If you're running Z06 10.5 rims on all 4 corners, I would run Kumho V710 315/35/18 on the back. 305/30/18 on the front. Or you could run Hoosier A6 315/30/18 on all 4 corners.

You could also go 295 on the front 17s and 315 on the back. That's what I ran on last year, no issues.

If you have Z06 shocks or Pfadt shocks you wil not rub. If you have Penske's shocks maybe.
