C5Z Wheel Question?
Okay....here's the deal fellas!
I bought my C5 with Chrome C5Z replica wheels on it. They are 17x9.5 in the front and 18x9.5 in the rear. I am wanting to put 18's all the way around, but would like to buy a chrome 18x10.5 to put out back so I can put a bigger tire on the car.
Is there a difference in offset on the rear wheels to where I would be prevented from putting my current rear wheels on the front (with a smaller tire of course)?
Thank you for all of your help in advance!!!

My car does have both.
However, aside from the AH/TC issues, would the rear wheels that are on my car now be okay on the front without having a fitment issue because of offset?
That's what I was really getting at with my question. I apologize if I wasn't very clear!
