C5 rims
OK looking at getting a new set of rubber to go on some rims
Rims are
18x9.5 rear with +65 offset
and
17x8.5 front with +58 offset.
I think these are off of a newer C5
Currently i have 255/17 on the front and
285 on the rear
(factory stock)
Any recommendation on what would be a good size that would look and perform well without adding to problems with ABS or traction control?

If you have an 88-96, yes they'll fit just fine.
The 8.5" C5 and 8.5" lateC4 wheels have the same dimensions.
The rear C5s will stick in 1/4" over your stock 9.5" rears.
