Tire Size Question
Can a rear tire(275X45X18) on a wheel with stock offset fit on the front
My car is a stock C5 lowered to 26".
What would a rear tire size on a 19" wheel be for this setup
THANKS

It looks like you would need to run at least a 305-35-19 on the rear to maintain a 1/2" diff. betweeen the front/rear (necessary for Active Handling as 8VETTE7 mentioned). A 295 comes close, but not quite...
I wish they made the stock thin spokes in 19", as I would like to do the same (move the rears to the front, and increase the size of the rears).
