Question Tires !

Hi guys. This is my first time here
I have a question about tires. I jsut bought a set of 2003 ZO6 wheels - 17x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear. I just wanted to make sure about the size of the tire and if I will have any problems with fitting those on. Only drag radials I could find so far in size 315/30/18 were BF Goodrich. Thanks for any advices and ideas.

cant see why those tires wouldn't fit in on the rear rims. You gotta take a pic of those if you get em. Finding tires that big is very hard, but make sure you get tires that serve your purpose. My car is a daily driver and I missunderstood "Great Wet Traction" as "All Season". Big diff between being able to funnel rain/prevent hydroplaning, and keeping your rear end from sliding out around turns when it rains. Hard lesson learned. Also, get ready to experience some greater road noise with those rims.

I drove on drag radials many times before. It`s not too bad when it rains if You go slow while making turns. I drive my car only in spring and summer though, trying not to take it out when it rains. I have no problem with fitting those tires on the wheels but I am mostly concerned about rubbing rear tires agaisnt my quarter panel lips [ from the inside ].
Thanks
