Default Tire sizes

Does anyone know if these size wheels and tires will fit my stock C5 without modifications... i.e. tubs.

18/10 front and 19/13 rear. front tire is a p275/35zr18 and rear is p325/30zr19.

I am guessing that this isn't really doable.

I guess I would need to get some fender flares? Also is it really a good idea to get tires that large? I have a 3.90 diff, a tune by Chuck Cow and a Blackwing. That amounts for all of the power upgrades. O yeah a Z06 exhaust which really doesn't mean anything.

Does anyone know if I would need spacers or flared fenders to make these look/ work right? Is there any other problems I would run into?

Offset of the wheels are ???? That will be a big determining factor although I doubt the 13" wide rear will work without a mini tub and/or flares...... Not to mention that a 325/30-19 was not designed to go on a rim wider than 12"

These are ccw wheels by the way so I guess I should call them.

How about these ones...

Rear: 19x11.5 with 305 30 ZR19 Nitto Invo Tires with less than 500 miles on them

Front: 18x10 with 275 35 ZR18 Nitto Invo Tires with less than 500 miles on them.

Definitely call CCW. John can tell you what CCW rim and tire combinations work on the C5.
