Rim Question ?
Sorry Guys, I was missing a digit there!
My rims now are both 17x9.5 and I have 275/40Zr17 for tires
My question is, the rims I'm interested in are fronts 17x9.5 and the rears are 17x11
Will I still be able to use my same tires that I'm using now for the 17x11 or will I have to buy 2 new tires to fit on these new 17x11 rims?
Thanks
chris

My guess is you're missing a digit and some spaces. 17 x 9.5 and 17 x 11 are normal ZR1 or Grand Sport sizes depending on the offset. They are different and early and late C-4's had different offsets as well. We need more information to tell you what will fit.

Nothing gained except stretching tire tighter on rim with a reduction in ride quality.
Most go to 11's because they want the 315 or wider tire
Notice in this Yokohama listing ,
a 275/40/17 is recommended for a 8.5 - 10" rim
