Default Question for Luke....

I pm'd you but got no reply. I'll be needing some new tires for my 03 Z06 soon, so I've begun to look into which tires I'm getting.
I'm thinking of Michelin Pilot Sports as opposed to the PS2's because I like the tread pattern better on the PS. Also for the sizes I'm looking at.
Would this work: Rears-315/30/18
Fronts-either:275/40/17,265/40/17,265/35/17.
I have stock sized chrome Z06 rims.
I don't want them to rub or change the rake of the car. I also don't want a large diameter change to throw off anything either.
Thanks!
Ron

315's stick out a little too far for my taste

Thanks Luke, I agree on the 315's, but what about the front sizes & dropping down the rears to a 305??

I would suggest running the stock Z06 sizes
