285's on stock corvette front wheels?
 

Are 285's too big to put up front on the stock C5 Y2k front wheels? I really want to, because I have some left from my trans am that have great tread and would save me some $$.

Thanks,

Grant

Nobody?

I have 285's on the front of my 98 c5. They are on 9.5 18" repo zo6 rims.
295's on the back. Great for high speed autocrossing. Hooks like a muther. I say save the $$ and put em' on.

Front C5 thin spokes are 17x8.5 and IMO 285s are going to be way too wide for them.

yeah 255-65's MAX out front on stock 17"x8.5" wheels in the front. i went with 275's and my fronts are 9.5" wide.

I will be upgrading to a 17x9.5" wheel, will 285's be ok at that point?

Thanks for the feedback. I was originally under the impression the stock fronts are 17x9.5".

285s will fit fine on 17x9.5 rims. The C5 came with 17x8.5 fronts and the C5/ZO6 came with 17x9.5 fronts.
