Going from staggered to square, keeping same tires?
So I just bought a set of Nitto Nt555 two weeks ago for my stock set of C5 wheels.
C5 (coupe/vert):
Front 17x8.5", 58mm offset
Rear 18x9.5" 65mm offset
Front: 245 35 R17
Rear: 275 40 R18
Heres the question, Could I buy 4 wheels :
17x8.5
18x8.5
and keep the same tires?

You could, but the tires wont fit the wheels properly and it will likely look goofy if the offsets are off. IMO, a corvette needs a much wider wheel out back than an 8.5. I have to ask, what is the purpose of wanting this particular wheel set?

Design of the wheels honestly. Either 8.5 or 10.5. I don't think 275 Nittos will go on a 10.5....no one makes a nice wheel at a decent price in 9.5 in rear like the stock size.
