18x9.5 2008 c6 rims
 
Getting those what size tires do i need. 275/35 will they fit? I have a 85 T/A with a 4th gen rear and 2in spacers up front

IIRC, C6 vette wheels wont fit, something about spacing

But on thirdgen.org I have seen many cars with the C6 wheels.

I bet those aren't actually wheels that were removed from a C6 and put on his car though - they are replicas. Are the wheels you have actually from a C6, or from another company (designed to fit 4th gens)?

They are replicas that have the same offset and bs as the 4th gens do.

Ok, then you are good to go.

275/40/17 = 25.7" diameter
275/35/18 = 25.6" diameter

Wheels are Factory Reproduction C6s
Front: 18x19.5, +56mm offset, 275-35-18 tire
Rear: 18x10.5, +58mm offset with a 5/16" spacer (changing the offset to about +50mm), 295-35-18 tire

Rear OEM C6 wheels will not fit an F-body directly. Fronts will. Rears can be made to fit on a fourth gen with a 1.25" adapter and some massaging of the wheel well with a hammer. On a 3rd gen i'm sure it would prove extremely difficult, if not impossible, to make a OEM 19x10 C6 wheel fit. I would guess the front, 18x8.5 would fit though.
This 3rd gen has 18x8.5 fronts and 18x9.5 rears I believe. I'm pretty sure he said he had to "modify" the wheel wells.
