The C5 rears will work on the front, I believe there is a small offset needed to fit correctly. The rears you purchase will vary in the offset. If they are C6 wheels or equivalents, they will require spacers to fit correctly, many look of the 10.5" wide rears in C5Z offsets. They usually come within 6-8 mm from the Z offsets. Currently I have 275/35x18 on the front and 305/30x19 on the rears
