Will a 295/35/18 tire fit 18x10.5 wheel?

Absolutely. That's what I'm getting for my 18x10.5 rear wheel. I believe that is the OEM size for a Z06 Vette.

How wide can you go on a 10.5" rim? Is 315 the max? or can you pack on another 20 mm?

Im looking for the same info, but dont want something thats going to hang out of the wheel well, so if i use the 295/35/18 will it still be inside of the well?

Narrowest recommended wheel for a 335 is 11". Tire still rolls over edge a bit. I have 285/30 on a 18x11" wheel which is actually too narrow for the wheel. 285 to 315 works with a 10.5" wheel.

yep that is STOCK Z06 Sizes and I have 18 X 10.5 Z06 Rear Wheels with BFG Drag radials which are also 295/35/18.

Long time no talk Buckmaster, Hope all is well.

Just some basic info please. My 2000 has 17 X 8.5s and 18X 9.5s I think????? Is that the standard width? What do the numbers represent 245/45, I know one is height and one width? So 255 is wider then 245 and 45 is higher then 40?

So if I go to from 17s up front to 18s and have 245x17 x 8.5 and am going to 18x9.5 how do I know how wide I can go and how much I need to reduce the height of the tire to still fit? Btw going from 18 x9.5 on the rear to 18 x 10.5s.

thanks (does all this make sence?)

Greg, check out Tire Rack's website: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/tiretech.htm

The following tire size calculator might also be helpfull: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

18x9.5 wheels go very well with 275/35-18 tires. 18x10.5 wheels require 295/35-18s. You could also go for 19x10.5 rears with 295/35-19s.

Hope this helps! :)
