C5 / Forgestar F14 fitment question
I’m considering getting away from the 17/18 stock setup. I really like the Forgestar F14’s. I’m looking at the 18 x 9.5, 50 mm offsets in front and 18 x 11, 55 mm offsets on the rear.
I’m wondering if because my stock setup was on 245/45/17 (approx 27.5 “ tall), would it benefit me to use a 265/35/18 (approx 25.4” tall) instead of the 275/35/18 (approx 24.8” tall) to keep the tire filled up? I don’t plan to lower it but would like to make sure there isn’t a big gap from tire to wheel well?
Anyone running this setup or have any feedback? Appreciate it in advance.

245/45R17 = 25.7"
275/35R18 = 25.6"
So, yes, run the 275 up front.

18x11 et53, 295's all four corners, no issues either and you can rotate them! Car has ridiculous turn in grip and no push...balance is good. C5's need more rubber up front...especially more than 245, that's for sure.
