Here's a pic of the 18x10.5" Interlagos on the rear with 315/30/18 tires.

Below are the 19x11.0 Cray Brickyards on the rear. I'm not sure of the tire sizes as I did not provide them.

My answer to help you is : 315 for 18x10.5 Speedline wheels but you could do 11 wide or even 11.5 . It really/only depends on the tire width . They fit perfect and anything wider will stick out . I've done 335-30-18 on 18x12 and 345-30-18 on 18x12 , looks good but sticks out and you need to be careful not to pinch quarter panels.

I've got some tires to fit that gap , if you looking. See my post in : wheels and tires section or autocrossing. Good luck with your fantasy.

Well, tubbing a C5 is just about the easiest thing ever. It involves cutting and re gluing, and putting down a 1 inch strip of fiberglass. The real issue with a 335 on an 18" wheel is if you keep it inside the fender, the inner wheel lip will rub the leaf spring. This means coilovers. The pic below has custom widened 18x12 stock rears with 335s.

Same car, same 18x12 wheels, prior to coilovers. 1 inch spacer required to clear rear leaf, you can see how wheels stick past fenders.
