Question Tires for Z06 wheels...

If I were to go with 17x9.5 fronts and 18x9.5 rears, with the car lowered 1", would 275/40 be good for front and rear or would I have to run 275/35 in the rear??

go for 18" all 'round, with 275/35/18 tires. This keeps the stock tire diameters at all four corners, so the speedo, and ASR/ABS are not affected. The Corvette's computers are calibrated for the smaller tires up front.

I agree...keep all four wheels and tires the same size if you can. That way you can rotate them, and I think it looks better IMHO.
