they prolly will, but they'll be tight. I would sell the C5 wheel/tire combo if I were you. Then you would have a li'l money for the tires!

Yikes.... I'd imagine they will, but it may be dangerous and ugly as hell. 245 on a 9.5" is bad idea, I had 245's on my 8" wide wheels. 275 on the 10.5" may be possible. I am running 285's on my 9.5" Z06's.

They really won't fit. The tire will be narrower than the wheel . . .
