Magnesium wheels for a C5 come in two sizes; 17x8.5 for the front wheels, and 18x9.5" for the rear wheels.
I would put 245/45/17 on the front wheels, and a 275/40/18 on the rears. A 295 tire on a 9.5" wheel is a little on the large side.
Of course some will say otherwise, but I'm just going by the manufacturer recommended sizes.
Hell, some people put a 315 on a 9.5" wheel....but those are also the same people that keep touching the electric fence or say, well my buddy did or I know a guy that did it; so why not me?
Just my opinion.
