I have chrome c5s, 18x9.5 all the way around also. I want to change it up and get some prostars. I'm not a big fan of any wheel over 17inches, but they came with the car. I really dislike the size, but they look pretty nice. I just don't think the looking nice outweighs the negatives.

Fronts = 275/35/18
Rears = 285/35/18





If I were to buy brand new tires for these wheels I'd get something with more sidewall. The rears look rediculous with a 35 profile. I'd at least get 40 profile like a 275/40/18. Which are exactly what I hope to get from someone on here shortly.
