Thanks!
Will depend on overall height w tires. If close to stock you shouldn't have to do anything. I have 19/20s and think they look the best on a C5, but not best for performance.

Thanks, and can anyone speak to whether a set of stock 2006 wheels would be a direct fit or would there be any offset issues or ?
Thanks !

We're holding a sale right now and, at these prices, by far the best bang for your buck.

Thank you. I lowered it with eibach lowering bolts. Its about a 1.5" drop front and rear. Fronts are maxed out. Rears can still go another inch. That with eibach shocks and C6 Z51 sways. It handles like a dream.

Ran 19/20's in the beginning. Have 18/19's now. Also have a set of oem powdercoated 18's with DR's for the back when I need to hook. Won't be doing 19/20's again, not enough tire options, and not really into the rubber band look.

19/20


18/19


Need to lower the rear to match the wheel/tire setup, just waiting for my new suspension.

Oh yeah and I HATE how tiny brakes look with 19/20's. Even my C6z brakes looked itty bitty.

CCW SP500
Front 19x10 - 275/30/19
Rear 19x11 - 305/30/19

20's in the rear look a little strange I find on most C5's (look like rubber band tires). Only JetZ has pulled off that look flawlessly.

I run 18x9.5 and 19x11, and Invos 275/35 and 325/30, My rear tires do not rub at all and they look great!
