C5 rims?
My buddy has a C5 and he is getting 05 rims. I want to buy his rims. They are 17 in front and 18 in rear. Just want to make sure they will fit on mine before I commit to it. Thanks for the help.

Yea, you should have no problems with them. If you need tires use 255/45/17 up front and 285/35/18 out back. You could also put Z06 wheels on yours and then our cars would be twins

.Either of these tire combos will work with existing speedo calibration......
I finally went with the 245's figuring if they were good enough for a C5 they were good enough for a C4........also a "little" better for straight line performance........couple $ less.....the 255's would match the original C4 tire size, also a good choice..
