Re: putting on vette rims. now tires
Doesn't matter what "kind" of wheels they are. He's asking what size tires. You could go 245's in the front and 265 or 275 on the rears. BFG KDW's are nice tires but a little pricey. 265's are perfect with BFG because their tires run bigger. I have 265/35/18's on both Camaros and they look awesome. They are pretty wide. There's always Kumho's, Falkens, and a few others that are much cheaper and still perform well too. Btw, this post should be in suspension. So, moving it there.......2004 CE Corvette 10.86@132mph

Re: putting on vette rims. now tires
275's would work fine on the front too. I was thinking about saving a little weight up front. 295's are way too wide and heavy for the rear unless you're packing some serious power. Also, the inside fender may need to be worked with a mallet to get them to fit.Originally posted by Black98Fivespeed2004 CE Corvette 10.86@132mph

Re: putting on vette rims. now tires
245/45r17 front 275/40r17 rear is stock.
i went with 255/40r17 front 285/35r18 rear
and it was actually cheaper on tirerack.com
you will probably have to remove your bump stops for the rear axle to make sure your tires dont rub on the rear

Re: putting on vette rims. now tires
wagon wheels from a 98. picked them up for $100. i needed new trear tires so why not jump to the bigger tires NOW so i can get my Z06's later and not need to buy new tires again.i think i'll go stock vette sizes. 245/45R17 for the fronts 275/40R18 for the rears
or maybe 285/35R18 rear?
decided to go wiht 245/45R17s for the front picked up some good barely used z rated tires for $100shipped now i gotta find rearsLast edited by 1997RSblack; 01-11-2008, 11:49 AM.Comment
