With special offset rim you can fit a 335/30/18 without a tub. IMO it doesen't look right because it sticks out about 1/2 inch outside of the fenders. 315/30/18 fit IMO good on the stock Z06 rim.

Those were 17x10s,18x11.5s. Loved the look, but because my car is so low, the tires rubbed the inner wheel house ( and I did not want to raise the car back up just for that). Now running 18 x9.5s and 19 x 11s with Michelin Pilots 275/35-18s and 295/35-19s on HRE's. No rubbing problems at all.( Some black-centered CCWs this size would also look nasty )
