275/40/17 fronts and 285/40/17 rears affects on handling?

Any problems with the ASR running with the different size tires?

None at all. My 1993 40th Anniversary Coupe with ZO7 suspension came with 275s front and rear on 9.5" wheels. I immediately changed to 285s in the back and never had a problem. But don't put the 275s on the smaller (base) front wheels. The 285s would benefit from wider rear wheels, but will work OK on the stock wheels.

No problem........ :nono:

But for Maximum performance and handling I found 285/315 combo, the Best.... :yesnod:

A ZR1 comes w/275 and 315...........285/315 is even better.... :reddevil

Wheels needed for 285/315 combo are 17 x9.5 x 56 front and 17 x11 x 50 rear :)

I like my 275/315 ZR1 combo (on zr1 offset wheels of course)
