Tire size for C5 Z06 rims
Ok I'm looking at getting a new set of tires put on my z06 rims. The front is 17" and 8.5" wide and takes a 245/45/17 and the back are 18" and 9.5" and take a 275/40/18. What I need to know is are there any other size tires that will fit these rims besides the ones I've listed. FYI I don't want run flats.

I dnt knw too much bout tires. But my friend has 285/35/18 on his 18.x9 rim. He can't go wider than that, and the fronts I got 255/40/17 bt my zo6 wheel is 17x9.5. But I think they are too skiny.
You should go for 265/40/17. But good look with that. If you are gonna buy em used. They are hard to find. And new they go for olmost $300 each tire
you should get 265/40/17 and 285/40/18. IMO.

on your fronts you can run up to 255 and in the rear you can run up to a 285...if it was me I would run 255/40/17 and 285/35/18
Last week I put new tires on my new c6 z06 deep dish wheels and the wheels are 18x8.5 and 18x10.5. I bought the KDW 2s new from the tire rack for $908 including tax and mounting and balancing. I'm running 255/40/18 in the front and 295/35/18 in the rear. Let me know if you have any other questions.2012 Regal GS

I'm sure you can get 4 tires for less than $300
I paid for all 4 $180. Half of life left on them.
Pirelis on the bk. And I dnt remember what brand on the front bt they are better than pirelis
jst look around and find good prices

$400 before tax and shipping
Shipping will run $70 to your area, and sales tax in your state should be less than $20 but may be higher based on your locality, so that is $500 or less to your door for 4 brand new performance tires. FYI.
