Awesome, Tiger! And, congratulations! Your new upgraded wheels and tires combination will present a striking, stealthy, and, aggressive stance to compliment your beautiful C5. What a difference versus stock sizing! Can't wait for more pics! Enjoy!

275/30/29 and 315/25/19.
You put a 29 inch tire on the front of your car? How can you see over the hood? You must be looking up in the air all the time?

Just kidding, neat looking tires!

Looking good. That should be plenty of rubber on the back end of the car.

Are they for street or track? Doesn't look like a lot of tread depth to me.
