Opinion on Tires size? Hey everyone I got a killer deal on a set of Toyo T1-S Proxies to go on the rear C5 rims. I have 275/40/18 on there now and I would love to hear your opinions on which size tire i should put on them and why. Should I stay the same size or go bigger?

What's the width on the C5 rims? I have OEM Z06 wheels, and those are 18x10.5... the 295/35/18s I have on them are the OEM size for Z06s, and they look really nice on those rims. You don't want to go too wide though, because it looks odd and you won't be putting down a good contact patch.

I ran 315s on 9.5 rims, but the sidewalls flexed enough to rub in hard corners. So I would say stay with 295s or less if you plan to do any road racing. Unless you just like that fat-*** look like I do.
