Front tire size?
Trying to decide on which front tire size to use. rear wheels are 19x10 with 305-30-19's, front wheels are 18x9.5. thinking 265 or 275-35-18. thanks

Spend a few minutes in the Tire Rack web site. That should answer some of your questions. (ie size and brand etc.)

You could get by with the 275s, but in this case, the 265s are a better choice.

I have same wheel setup as you with 275/35/18 Goodyear Eagle F1 EMT supercars up front;305/30/19 Michelin Pilot Sports in back -- works fine.

265/35/18 as the sidewall on a 275/35/18 is noticeably taller than the 305/30/19. Or you could use a 285/35/19 on the rear which is closer to the stock C5 dia.

I've had both 275 and 265 with 295 rears - the 265 felt a lot better.
