The reason I ask is that a friend of mine had a ZO6. (Read had ) sorry no pics. He's a really good friend. He gave me his used tires, about 70% tread Goodyear F1 supercar, (2) 265/40 17, (2) 295/35 18. Was considering deep dish bullet or FR-500 anthracites. I have stock bullets now.

Have you measured the wheel tube and cross section of the tire to allow proper clearance. :gso: :thanks: :nxnos: :nxnos:

I haven't really measured anything yet... I was hoping the the 18's would fit o.k.

I think someone mentioned before about removing quad shocks.. also my car hasn't been lowered yet. I'm hoping to install bullet series lowering kit at some time in future...will this combo work for the 18's

You won't need to remove anything as long as it has the right backspacing. my rears are 18 x 10.5 and I still have my quad shocks :thumpupn:

I've got 295/35/18s on 18X10 Roush wheels on the back of my Roush with no problems... Get some 17X9s for the 265/35/17s, note you will need to get steering rack limiters or the tires will rub when turning.

Check with any Roush parts distributor, I'm not sure how to install them but I have heard they are fairly easy to install and don't cost alot. Do a search on www.fnsweet.com, I hope this helps.
