Re: hellp! will these tires fit?

whats the width of the rim. if its 9.5 295s should fit, but bulge more then likely.

As far as changing the tires height, idk, I think that will mess up your speedo. Do you throw ABS inop lights too?

Re: hellp! will these tires fit?

If there the 9.5 wide vette rims then the tires will fit the wheels. the 275 40 17's will fit in the front thats what i have too, im not not sure about the back ones.

Well throwing a 315 on a 9.5 inch wide rim, they would bulge bad, but it depends nittos run really narrow.

usually running two different size tires will throw an abs code.

The wheels will fit though.

Re: hellp! will these tires fit?

If everything is 9.5" wide, then they would theoretically fit very similarly. The fronts are almost identical in overall dimensions, the backs are too small now, and even smaller with the proposed new size.

I say do the 275/40/17 up front and do 275/35/18 out back. This will get you extremely close sizes overall front and back and also extremely close to overall stock size to ensure proper speedo readings.

Again, this is assuming 9.5" wide wheels at all four corners.

The ABS INOP light will come on if the computer senses the front and rear wheels are running at a set percentage difference, making the computer think the sensors are bad. Your rear tires are currently smaller in diameter than the fronts, so at a certain speed, your ABS INOP light may come on. If not now, more likely with those new sizes.

Re: hellp! will these tires fit?

I know for my 17 X 11 rear ZR1 I had to cut the bump stop off to fit the 315/35/17 tire. Someone posted pics of a 295 18" tire not too long ago might want to look at old threads.
