I don't think you'll find a standard 15" skinny from Jegs/Summit that will fit a C5. The CCWs are 16s.

Pretty sure you can fit a 15" up front but no way in the back. Those CCW pics you posted are awesome! :)

Forum member GTFORMULA got 15" to fit fit after some surgery seen here http://ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=465553
I've not seen anyone get a 15 on there without changing the rear but you can get a 16 in there there with little moding of upper ball joint and then you have an option of using 16" fbody wheels.

I put 15" front Bogarts on mine using the Strange Engineering drag brakes.

That looks great. Does Bogart make a 16" skinnie?
No offense to GTFORMULA, but that grinding is not safe. He's taken at least 1/2 the caliper material off, at what looks to be a critical area. I'd love to see him mic that area. I can pull a wheel/caliper and mic my stockers for comparison.
IMO, extremely dangerous way to get skinnies on the front. Save that .10 or so and get new calipers/run full size wheels until you can save enough money to do it right.

I don't know if they make a 16" skinny. they do not make a C5 specific set of 16" rears either. these are an almost fit in the rear with help of a centric ring in the center

If you want to go a cheaper route, I hear that the new GTO spare wheels also work, but you may want to replace the tire with a higher speed rated radial.

got any ideas where to find a 17in x 4in tire that would fit??? or maybe 5in???
GTO spares are 17x4. u can get them for under $100 ea. prob is finding a tire to fit..i'd pull the trigger on these if i could fing the right shoe to fit them.
