Will 30/68-18 Fit the from of a ZL1 1LE?

I bought the 18" Apex wheels in ZL1 1LE size. Usedracingtires.com says the Michelin 30/68-18 will fit. Has anyone tried them?

They will fit. However, with the 18 inch wheels you have to use a 3-5mm spacer, along with grinding down the knuckle on the strut.

The wheels are already ET7 vs ET11 stock. Your saying I will still need more offset?

little bit tall but worked fine on my car...they rubbed a hole in the wheel liner. 660 is more appropriate

33/68-18 which are hard to get now so I am trying the 30/68-18

Or 325/680-18 pirrelli tires.

On MY SS I am running Michelin Slicks 30 68 18 on APEX EC7 18 x 11 wheels with ET27 offset. I run these on all four corners and I use a 5MM spacer on FRONT and also did some grinding on the strut bracket for clearance.

They Work GREAT with no POKE at the top of the wheel wells. An ZL1 will have a little more clearance than an SS up front. Running -3.1 camber on front and -2.4 camber on the rear. I also have used Pirelli 305 660 18 on same wheels. I like the larger diameter of the 30 68 18 Michelin Tire
