No issues so far in a few hundred miles logged with this "miss matched" set. If I had to do over again I gone with the same sizes, but went with the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 tires. I was also seriously considering the 305/30-19 size on a 19x11 rim, but the offset is for the C6 rear and you need to use a 15mm spacer (per Apex) with those rims on the rear of a C5 - no thanks.

I eventually found a C5 vert in pewter that didn't have black interior and now own it I found in sunny Florida it is not good to have black seats and this one was worth waiting for..

Those TrackSpec hood vents look so much better painted to match the body color!

Did you take it down the hood? I have always liked the Baldwin Motion stripes but balked because of the rear bumper body panel seam that the C3’s don’t have.
