Default Tire and wheel size question

Will 265/35ZR18 tires (https://www.treaddepot.com/#!product...Fitment/252160) fit a 18x10.5 C5 Z06 wheel? Is there another size you'd recommend? Looking to get those Toyo Proxes T1's for my Z although I have to confirm the actual width of the wheel. (I believe they are either 9.5 or 10.5 wheels)

Thanks for the help!

265 should fit fine on a 9.5 or 10.5. i have 245s on 8.5 which is the max acording to the shop and any other info i have seen. you can put 315s on 8.5 rims but the tire is tweeked so full tire contact is not made to pavement.

265 would be stretched. I would run a minimum of a 285 on a 10.5" wheel

agree, 10.5 rim would be right on the line. some 265s call for 9-10 and some say 9-10.5 rim. i would want to see them mounted to see how they looked.
