If you want to know sizes, here they are:

coupe/vert: 17x8.5 front/18x9.5 rear, 245/45/17 front, 275/40/18 rear
Z06: 17x9.5 front/18x10.5 rear, 265/40/17 front, 295/35/18 rear

If there is any other info that you are looking for (like factory styles, offsets, etc), just ask.

Not to hijack the thread, but I'm looking at buying a 2002 C5 coup, all stock and was wondering what are the biggest tires I can put on the wheels without changing anything else?

Thanks.

If a person is looking for new rims for a c5 coupe, what offset is recommended? Not sure of the different options and why.
