Default Need help with CCW wheels/tires!

I just came across a set of CCW classic wheels and almost new tires for $1300... This seems like a great deal to me, but the tire sizes are 315/30ZR18 up front and 335/30ZR18 in the rear. Will these fit my C5 without modification? If so, will they look rediculous? Any help will be appreciated!

Both the front and rear will stick out. You will have to investigate the offsets to see how far they stick out and if they'll rub on the insides. But it is basically impossible to run those sizes without sticking out or rubbing the wells, or both. You'd need flares.
