Talking C5Z05 rim and offset ... 305 no problem ... 315 works ... real close to the brake ducts on a C5Z ... beyond that you get into rubbing issues and you really dont get to use all the thread patch if the side bulge is pulling the shoulders up.

315 here (V710) without a problem on the stock rim.
