To paraphrase Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park, "You were so concerned on whether or not you could do it you didn't bother to think about if you should do it."

Sure, they'll fit. But every book I've read on performance handling say it's a no-no. I recommend no larger than 255 on an 8, and no larger than 285 on a 9.5. There's a reason tire manufacturers list a recommended wheel width range for tires.

I hope you're not contemplating putting an 8" wheel on the Z06! But, like anything else, it's your car...do what you want *shrug*
