Have chosen to put Nitto 555R on my 95 Z28. 245x45x17 up front and
285x40x17 in the rear. Makes some sense. However, some people are
putting KDW's up front, and Nitto's on the rear for grip I take it.
Is this not a BAD idea? I understand person wants grip on the rear
and less resistance up front. But I have always been warned not to mix
Brands...What do you think.....

Also given a Killer suspension to protect rearend, can the rebuilt stock
rearend with a special Eaton Posi 3:73, stay intact with 18" tires????

not bad at all..you typically wanna keep the same tires on the same axle

And yes the rear will probably last longer with 18's than 16's because with that short sidewall you're going to spin easier.
