You should be able to run a 245/30/20 or 255/30/20 on the front w/o any probems.
These are as far as I know, the only real suitable sizes for a C5 front app.
I think 20's look too big for the front fender openings though. Big is cool, but only to a point. Bigger than that looks like

I'd be curious to see the result, certainly would'nt have much front wheel well showing which will probably look pretty good.
Good Luck!
Good Luck!
and i will keep you guys posted
