C6 wheels tires on my C5
 
1 Attachment(s)
I tried 2 sets and they both worked fine, both sets have the stock C6 tires. if you went wider than the 285/35/19 in the rear I could see how you would have problems with the inner tire would rub the inner fender lining. i can stick my finger between the tire and the inner fender lining.

the Hancock Evo v12 tires ride so much better and quiter that the Goodyear run flats.

No offense but that doesn't look good at all. The rear wheel is in to far and the fender gap is huge. Maybe if you lowered it but IMO its not a good fit.

i do plan to lower the rear a little bit, the fender gap is the same as the C5 wheels/tires.

Lower it and put spacers on to push the wheel out more and it should look fine. :thumbs:

I just did this but used the spacers for the rear and also a 1/4" spacer for the front. They fit perfectly.

Can you tell me what Spacer you ordered for the rear? Link maybe?

I just put the same wheels on mine and used a 1 inch spacer on the rear. Worked perfect! Got it from these guys. :thumbs:

I wish I could. They were on the car when I bought it. They bolt to the axles and have their own studs for the lugnuts. They are 1" thick.

It took me a few times
 
Having it lowered then raised again before I come up with this look....
Without it bottoming out ...
