Put as big as you can go on the front... and duplicate that tire on the rears.... now you have a "normal" tire you can rotate and save your money for other mods... thats what I will do if I buy rims/tires

Actually, I plan to race the car a lot, that's the reason I'm going 18's front and back. I will keep the stock heights, so the rear tires will be bigger than the fronts. I'm told that the C5Rs and C6Rs use 18's, they look pretty nice.

Will I be able to clear my brake cooling ducts?
I'm a little late entering this thread, but I am about to buy CCW Classic 17x10 front and 18x11.5 rear. I will put Nitto NT01 275/40-17 in front and 315/35-18 in rear.
Can anyone tell me if I will be able to clear my brake cooling ducts in the rear with this tire wheel combo??

No... the 18x11 that I have is the bigges you can go while keeping the rear ducts. With CCW's 11.5" wheel you can fit a 335 tire and only have it stick out a smidge, but you must remove the rear duct.

18s all around here too ( pic above) I have also corrected the ride height, rake and corner balanced my car.
