Default Wider than a 345 tire?

Does anyone have a tire wider than 345 on a c5?
With tubbing or flares it does not matter.

Pirelli has a 375/20/21, though I hear the tread pattern is about the same as a 345.

Those are on a c6 not a c5. That is the Pirelli that I was referring too. I hear it has the same tread width as a 345, and to me lacks sidewall.

Still looking for a tire wider than a 345 on a c5.

Pirelli makes a 355/19, but whats 10mm between friends?

Kumho ecsta is a 375/20/21



Some crazy Camaro/Mustang.Challengers are stuffing Pirelli 405/25/24's out back!

I know it is a way overboard, but, that stang looks pretty cool!
Sager303 you should try that 405 / 24!

That Ecsta is a nice wheel. I don't think a 21 inch wheel will fit. Shoot with a sidewall of 20 maybe it will. . . .
