z06 rims

i have a '93 camaro z/28 with 2003 corvette zo6 rims, i was just wondering what size tires would look good and perform good, as of now it has 245/40-18 tires and the rim sticks out farther than the tires and it looks rediculous, any thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated, thanks

What width are the rims? I have 17 x 9.5 in the front and 18 x 10.5 in the rear. 275/40/17's and 295/35/18's

I have the same size rims...Im running 275-40-17's in the front and 315-30-18's in the back. depending on the offset of the rim you may need to do the BFH mod

how wide is the rim? if its 9.5 275/40/18 would give it good handling. Ride quality might suffer though. They have a tendecy to find grooves in the road and tug on the steering wheel a bit.

Not at all on mine. 18's may be a different story. Might want to stick with the 255's.
