Forum: I see many members using 17 x 18 wheel combo.
I have a problem w/17 front wheels.
The 17 is too low w/tire in front.
I'm thinking 18 x 8 front and 18 x 9.5 rear.

Since I can't afford the nice BBS wheels. lol
Are there any OEM matching wheels that I can pick from?
I'm not up on all the C5 wheels sizes available?
I know an adapter will be required.

What are my choices if any?

TIA

Years ago I did '89 vette wheels.....started out with '92 vette wheels, same adapter......same size too, 17x9.5 and 255/50/17 in front 275/50/17 in rear.....same diameter tire as stock....largest improvement in handling I ever did to the car......after that plastic rear spring, front coils, billy-stine sports, and finished off with rack steering that cut a full rotation off the steering......2.7 turns instead of 3.7......then after that the addition of the front cross support from upper A arm to A arm....

see pix below.....

In my mind I was hoping to find a pair of 18x9.5.
W/matching 18x8 from different year?

Are there any 18x8 and 18x9.5 from a C5?

I'm guessing not, but I have to ask! lol

Most c5s run 17s up front and 18s on the back. T

Perhaps this chart is helpful, it has listed the various wheel sizes and offsets, by year.

I don't know if you will be able to find a matched set of 18" stock wheels, but you may be able to get aftermarket wheels that match in those two sizes.
