wheel sizes

anyone here have 18 x 10.5 wheels on the front of their C4? or is 9.5 the widest you can go. Looking for 18's all the way around, have to get new wheels for brake upgrade. No offset problems either??

Thanks, Jim

There is a fellow forum member that is running stock 18x10.5" Z06 wheels all around with 295/35/18 and he claims that he has no problems. I know some guys even run 17x11 w/ 315/35/17 up front for auto-xing, but I think that they rub at full lock. Personally I would go with 18x9.5" wheels up front w/ 275/35/18 tires.

295/35-18's on 18x10.5's all around. Original equipment Z-06 rears. There's a little room left.

No problems autox-ing them either.

I have 18x10 with 285/35/18 tires on the front of mine with no problems. Another .5" should work fine.

I'm interested in this thread, because I want to go 18x11 Fikse all-around when my current Yokohama meats run out...
