Need Help With my Next Tire Setup..

tweba09

I plan to go with 255/40 fronts and 285/35 rears to get the overall diameter close to what the stock stagger is. However, I was told by the tire shop that I want a smaller tire in the front than in the rear......which I don't understand since the factory front tires are taller than the rear tires with the sport package?

You're tire shop is full of crap. The size stagger is a Corvette thing, the Z has equal sizes front and rear, and a slight differential either way doesn't matter.

Sounds like they are trying to unload invetory instead of ordering what you really want. That's my guess.

Yeah, he jumped on my case when I was asking to order the 255/40 fronts to go with the 285/35 rears saying he was a "long time gearhead, and you never have taller tires in the front of a sports car". I knew he was wrong about this with the 370 and I will not be doing business with them because of this.
