Thanks for the pics but your right I was looking for a C5 Z06 on stock rims with Toyo Proxes RA1's. I am concerned about the sidewall height. A 275/40/17 and a 305/35/18 set up sould make the front sidewall profile technically higher then the rear, which is a look that I dont want. A 255/40/17 and a 305/35/18 setup would make the front sidewall profile smaller then the rear which would look normal in theory but I would love to see a pic to see just how much more wheel gap there is with this setup. Its kinda becoming a hassle and could be an expensive mistake if it doesnt look right. Once again anyone got pics??? lol
