If you keep the tire heights the same, you won't have any problems with ABS or traction control. By tire height, I'm not talking about tire dimensions, but the actual height of the tires. Clearance depends on width and tire size. Though I haven't heard of anyone having problems with that on the Z06 wheels.

fbodies have no sensors incorporated into the wheels themselves so the only issues are dimensional.

but they are the same size so git-er-done. i run c5 z06 rims on my car. no issues whatsoever.

C5 Z06 tire's are taller on theback P295/35R18 which are 26.1" tall
Compared to the front P265/40R17 which are 25.4" tall
The stock Camaro tire's are the same dia. front and back

Thanks for your input

Mr TQ

whats important is the rim, because tire size can be adjusted based on which tire you choose to put on there. my rims are 17" all around, so i run a 275/40 (i think).

no, i havent had any problems. there is only about 1 inch of space between the rubber and fender well on the fronts, and i have a little more room in the back. but my struts are set very stiff so they dont travel up there very often
