Default need tires but dont know what size

I just bought some wheels online and now need tires. I bought 4 black Z06 wheels that are all 18x9.5 inch, can I put 275/40/18 on all four tires or will the front rub the fender or anything?

I don't know about a "93 BlackVette00. I am running 18x9.5 on all four corners of a C-6. For the C-5 and C-6, it is important to stay "close" to the factory circumference of stock with regards to AH, TC, and ABS.

For the C-5 and C-6 275x35x18 front and 275x40x18 rear will work with no issues. Maybe others will chime in but that is what is what I am running.

Michelin Pilot Sport ZP on the front. (stock C-6 Z06 front size)

Michelin Pilot Sport AS ZP on the rear. (stock C-5 rear)

Great wear and great handling for as spirited as I get on the back roads.

Hope this helps to get you started. There are other combinations. I selected the above tires because they are run-flat.
