Default wheels & tires
If I use the standard wheels for my C5, can I go with a wider set of Michelin Pilot A/S ZP's than the standard tire?

According to the Tirerack website, you can go with a 255 front and a 285 rear on the stock size rims.

I was looking to put Bilstein sport shocks on as well. Anything I should look out for here?

The Bilstein Sport shocks are a good choice, of course make sure that they are the right part numbers for a C5....other than that you should be good to go!
