Ordered new rims
I got these new rims for my 98 C5 vert.

I was wondering if i could put some 295/35/18s in the back with 275/35/18 in the back and i was going to lower it on the stock bolts, do you guys think this will work out? thanks a lot

I'm not trying to rain on your parade but if you don't have smaller diameter wheels on the front than you have on the back I think you will have problems with the active handling, and the offset for the rear wheels is wrong, because of this to keep them from rubbing you will probably have to use a spacer on the rear, and this might push your wheel outside the fenders.

Maybe you should post a thread in the Tech section about running the same size wheel and tires front and rear. Read this thread http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...els+front+rear

Of course using the search feature never hurts either.
