C5 Wheels??? What tires??? I bought some factory C5 rims for cheap fronts are 17x9 and rear 18x9.5 ???? Can i use 255/40/18 in the front and 285/40/18 for rear the car is lowered 1.2 in or theres a better set up???
On my magnesium c5 wheels I run 275/40/17 on the front and on the rear its a 295/35/18 no bulging and it handles well. A lot of vette guys run those sizes and it works just fine for them too

I like a uniform look where the fronts match the rears as far as the tire being properly sized for the wheel. Not this 245 tire on a 9.5in wheel and a 315 on a 11in wide rear wheel. Everything for me has to be in tune with me.

This. The first size you said OP for the fronts will make the tires look stretched and wouldn't look good compared to the rears.
