18/18 setup
Have a question guy's, I am waiting on my new ccw's to arrive and I need to order front tires. I will be 295/35 on the rear and 275 front but do I go with a 30 or 35 series tire. Any help would be appreciated.

I am going 295 because I don't want the tire to protrude past the fender in the rear, I don't like that look. Most 315's 'I have seen on the big street package are outside the fender. 275/35 is what I will go with up front then. I am going with the lm20's and I don't think I have seen these on a c5 yet so should be interesting. 18/10 up front and 18/11 out back. I am really interested in having the stance be as close to stock as possible. I will post pictures when they arrive.

They are telling me 2 inch up front 3 inch in the rear. I am excited, the classics were back ordered so I didn't want to wait. The lm20's are so close to the classics that I thought they would look sweet. I was so close to pulling the trigger on the gold anodized centers but just couldn't, went with a pewter center.

You could use a 265/35 on the front, that's what I run. They are also the same diameter as the stock 17" tire. IMO, the smaller size looks better with the 295/35 rear which is also what I have and this way the f/r relationship is the same as stock. I'm on 18x10 & 11 Classics.
