Question on new wheel sizes
Hey group,
I'm just about to pull the trigger on some C6 Machine faced Motorsports. They are only available in 17x9.5 for the fronts but they come in 18x9.5 for the rears. Will I have any problems with the stock run flats on the 9.5 fronts? I know several have switched to the OEM Z06 wheels which have the 1" difference all the way around but I will have just the fronts this way. I know it leaves a "bulge" but that's o.k. I can't pass up the deal as long as they will work.
Thanks for any input,
Paul
