Hi Ricky,
The front wheels are 10"x18" 58mm offset Fikse Profil 10s with 285/40ZR18 Michelin Pilots and the rears are 12" x 19" 38mm offset with 345/30ZR19 Michelin Pilots. At 27.2" tall and 13.6 section width the 345 Pilots completely fill out the rear wheel wells of a ZR-1. Had to trim the lower rear edge of wheel well liner a little to prevent rubbing on the inner sidewalls when going over bumps and cornering. I must admit sidewalls of the 285/40 front tires are just a little to tall for my taste. I plan to replace them with a shorter profile 285/35 tire when I get some time to turn out a set of ABS reluctor wheels for the rear spindles with 49 teeth count to compensate for the 4.5% difference in front and rear tire circumferences. Otherwise the difference is enough to confuse the ASR and ABS systems and trigger the alarm lights. Here are a couple of shots of the stern view.
