Wider tires
I'm trying to find the same brand tires in 255/45-17 fronts and 285/40-18 rears with no luck. Tire rack is back ordered 60 to 90 days for the rears in Conti's and that's the only combo in that size. If anyone has a source to a tire company that would have these tires it would be greatly appreciated, otherwise I will no choice but to go with the oem sizes.

Seems like the only thing different is that you want 285's in the rear? Did you look at tires you like on Tirerack and then click on the specs area where all the sizes are listed? I'm sure there are alternatives.

There are other combos out there. What if you did the full c5Z06 sizes? FYI, I had a c5z, but the stock rims were designed fir the 265/295 combo. Maybe someone else knows if they will fit stock coupe sizes.
