How many times are you going to ask the same question?

i guess it depends what offsets you get.
but i did it.

heres a thought, why dont you actualy go to a tire store and TRY IT hehe
they probably will espicaly if it means a sale.
since your not listening to what people say here..

just because something says it wont fit or doesent work on paper doesent meant it wont in reality.

If the store is reputable, they'll realize they have a liability issue, and either they wont install them, or they'll have you sign a waiver. Just because they physically fit, doesn't mean they're safe.

Ok, the tires I am getting are free basically.
That's the only reason I was thinking of installing them.
They are off my friends '02 Corvette.
Less then 1000 miles on them.

May be it will worth to get new 18x9 wheels just to get these tires on. lol

probably depends on the tire manufacturer's recommendation. go to their website, and check out the range they recommend for that tire.
