I'm about to buy a set myself to try. I've searched around and it looks like plenty of people have had good luck with them. I'm going to run mine on 17 inch C5Z wheels as well.

might even want to try M/T DRs in 295x45x17. They also fit 17x9.5 wheels and is taller at 27.2. That baby hooks every pass on my car even with NOS.

Why an 18" tire? There is going to be little sidewall on an 18" tire. Might as well use a DR.
