Default Rims....

I have been doing some looking any have come up short. I would love to be able to put deep dish rims on my c5 (deeper the better) but I am unable to really find any pictures of what they would look like on a c5. What are a typical size of rim that people put on a c5? Can a 10.5..315 tire fit on the rear without modifications? Any links or suggestions on rims would help greatly. Thanks. I prefer black rims but wouldnt rule any deep dish out.

i just put a set of C6Z06 deep dish's on my 2001 coupe. 17x9.5 and 18.10.5(stock Z06 sizes) and they fit fine..no rubbing at all and dont look weird. The rears stick out maybe 1/4".. but from the back it gives the car a more meaner look IMO. Ill get some pics up soon and show ya. I bought them new from keith at 1st rate corvette parts. If you do a search for Docz you'll find him. Hope this helps.
