Default new wheels&tires-

so I think I've decided on these chrome C6 Z06 replicas w/ the firehawk wide oval tires. 17x9.5 wheel 265/40 tire up front and 18x10.5, 295/35 on the back.

I want to confirm that these widths will still fit if I lower 2".

also are there other suggestions for a better tire? these ones seemed pretty good to me, a sticky 320 treadwear but not ridiculously low like pilot sports 220. AA traction A temp, good reviews from what I could find. 10/32 tread depth compared
to most others 8/32. and about $750 for all four.

You chose a good set tires. If you decide to go with a different tire, I recommend Nitto's 555 Extreme ZR's. This is what my car is running with and I'm very happy with them.

thanks for the suggestions guys, i think my mind has been changed to the BFGs, partly because of the easy availability for me, i have a few shops near me that have those in stock. and because of the available size 275/40-17 which the firehawks didnt have. and 295/35-18 which nitto doesnt seem to have. so thanks again!
