The stock size for the Vette, from 1988 on, is 275/40/17.
There is no way in hell that size will fit on the 11" wide rear rim. I am also concerned that the higher aspect ratio wouldn't work right on the C4 at all... To be honest, I have never heard of 275/45/17. I do have the 275/40/17 on my 92 all the way around. They are just fine. |

BFG says all their 275-40-17s are fine for 9"-11" wheels.
Go for it. Those white wheels look great! |

Wow, doesn't look as bad as I thought it would. I'm just used to seeing 315s on 11 in rims.

A little bit of the low rider look. To much rim for the tire. JMHO.
