Default Question on tire width

19x9.5 rear and 18x8.5 front

IS that stock c5 size or is that smaller then they should be?

Stock C5 size is 17x8.5 & 18x9.5. The width is the same as what you posted.

Two things

1) You are both talking wheel width, NOT tire width

2) IF these are C6 wheels the offset will be wrong. Wheel offset is VERY important in wheels in clearing body components. (I assume that you know these wheels are an inch larger in diameter than stock wheels).
