looking at getting some tires for my new rims for my 01 z06

ok heres what im looking at

18x9.5 in the front
Offset: 57mm Backspacing: 7.48"

19x11 in the rear
Offset: 65mm Backspacing: 8.54"

sound about right? also now im looking at tires id like at least a 275 up front and a 315 on the back is that do able?

i plan on possibly lowering it a tad this winter just so i dont have no huge wheel gaps or anything.

also tire recomendations? the car will be 100% street driven no autocrossing
i want something thats going to handle great ride good and no spin if i take off at a 25mph roll

a friend recommended some Toyo PROXES T1R's ?

would 35's be too small of a side wall for a comfortable ride?

Toyo T1R's are your best bet run 275/40/18 on the front and 285/35/19 on the rear..
 
why only 285's on the rears? im not a tire expert thats why i wanted to ask
also going to a 35 on the rear vs the 40 in the front im guessing just balances it out right?

the fronts belletire has for 182 out the door a piece free mount balance and NITRONIZE lol

the rears im still waiting to get a price on

you can go wider then a 285 its just the right fit
thats what they put on the newer z06 vette plus it would be a good side wall.. That price you might wanna jump on it cause that is below cost
 
cool thanks man for the help! my "brother" works there so i get a discount :woot:
