I'm about to buy a set of c5 zo6 wheels and need to know if I'm goin to have a problem with approx. A 1-1.5 inch drop.

Fronts are 9.5 wide with 275/35/18

Rears are 10.5 wide with 315/35/18

Any pics of a car with these wheels would be good thanks

So im thinking of buying a set of c5 zo6 wheels from oe wheels. They are 18s with the front being 9.5 wide and 10.5 for the rear.

Will I have any issues and if it will work what tire sizes do you guys reccomend?

Thanks for the help

There's no way those 315's will work unless you beat on your fender wells or I think you can get a spacer. I have 18x10.5 C5 Z's on my TA and they still rub when I turn very hard or hit bumps. And my ride is stock height.

So maybe I should ditch the 10.5s and just go 9.5s all around
