Thank you so much for ur time in helping me with this. Need the quick answer because I'm suppost to be picking these wheels up on wendsday.

They'll fit. It's pretty common, just correct the front tires with a taller sidewall or you'll have ABS problems.

^ Ah ok. Just check the height calculator on one of the tire sites to be sure they're both the same.

I've ran both the 275/40r17 front, 295/35r18 rear and the 265/40r17 front, 295/35r18 rear combos with no issues (at least 40k miles on the first combo, 10k on the second). The tires were Firestone Firehawk Wideovals. The 265s looked more correct (matched the rear's sidewall profile) but 275s were easier to find; they would have looked better paired with 305 rears.

They're close to rubbing on the rear (some cars they do and you have to use the BFH mod) so I'd think they'd rub in the front when turned.

I just got the factory C5 Z06 18X10.5 wheels for all 4 corners and found to my dismay that I will have to use at least a 1/2" hubcentric spacer and longer bolts.
right now the 18X10.5 rear wheels in the front barely clears the upper control arm, so using a spacer is a must at this point.

Wish I knew that earlier, I could have bought everything I needed beforehand.
