Default 11.5 inch wheel question

I'm going to purchase a set of ccw classics on sunday and there 11.5 by 17 front and back. What size slick could I run with out rubbing? Also will the front tires rub when I turn the wheel all the way? Any help would be great. Thanks
Its a 99 c5

I had them in 18's and ran 275x35 and 315x30 PS2's with no rubbing.

I'm running a 315 on my speedlines now. Could I go bigger ? I would like to get some Hoosier slicks on the rear and put the biggest tire I can fit on a 11.5 inch wheels with out rubbing. Also will a 275 fit on a 11.5 rim?

With proper offsets on the wheels you could run 315 and 335. I don't know why anyone would want to run a 275 on an 11.5" wheel.

I don't really like wide tire up front. Does any have pictures of there black c5 with powder coated black ccw classics on them?
