Front wheels on my C5? How large of a wheel/tire combo (width) can I run on my 1999 C5? This will be for racing only. I plan to run a 18x11 with a 335/30/18 on the rear, but how large for the front? I would LIKE to run a 305/30/18 up front, but am unsure if it will fit.
Re: Front wheels on my C5? yeah, i dont like much bigger than 9.5 up front. I just dont see the point in having that big of a wheel up there. some ppl say it helps w/ cornering, givin 'em a good bite, but hell, its a vette! The bite is there already
If thats the case, i want the biggest damn tire I can fit. 
Re: Front wheels on my C5? all the guys on the www.corvetteforum.com are usually like this!
"on the front"
17x9.5 with 275/40ZR17
or
18x9.5 with 275/35ZR18
or
19x9.5 with 275/30ZR19
in my honest opinion, that would be the only sizes i'd ever go with! (if i had a C5)
