  • Question about tires / rims

    My tire dimensions are: 245 / 40ZR18 97W XL ( Capitol Brand)

    I need to replace two of my rims and i was wondering if these would fit or not?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Re: Question about tires / rims

    are you saying will those tires fit or will the rims work? if so you're gonna need wider than a 245 tire on a 9.5" rim. trust me, if you're gonna get nice rims, do them some justice with nice tires --- you definitely get what you pay for.

    as far as vette replicas, those should work yes. i have the c6 z06 replicas and they fit with no problem.

    i'm running 17 x 9.5's on 275/40/17zr nitto's --- i wouldn't go any smaller than that.

      You could go as narrow as 255 on a 9.5" rim, but that would be pushing it. I wouldn't put the current tires on a 9.5" rim. I'd suggest selling your current tires and investing in some 275 width tires.

          U need thinner rims, with 9.5's ideally you're running 275/40. I think there are thinner replicas, not sure who sells them but I think i've seen thinner ones. If you get 9.5's you need wider tires. 255 will work, but 275's will perform and protect the rim better.

            18x8 or 18x8.5. You should have a selection of wheels that will fit your current tires.

                    ok guys. so after going to multiple stores/ chevy dealership. I found out that the rims i have on currently ARE 18 x 9.5. And also that the rims i have were not originally black, but they were powdercoated and sprayed. So this has been extremely frustrating for me.. and not completely sure where to go from here..... this dude at discount tire told me to try and find silver or aluminum c5 z06 rims and then have those sprayed black?? ( mine are all black... and i can only find black with chrome lip...)

                    HELP

                            why are you selling two of your rims? i'm confused.

                            and i've only seen c6 z06 rims totally black, never c5's. besides the ones that have been painted.

                              selling two because I cant find two replacements. I damaged two of them.. but the other two are in great condition. they were painted black.. thats whats causing this whole problem for me
