New to the C5 world and would like to upgrade rims. I know the front tires are 245X45-17, (17X8.5) and rear tires are 275X40-18,(18X9.5) for the 98 coupe with a 4.75 bolt pattern. My catalog reads the same tire for the 01 coupe however, it doesn't mention rim size for the 01.
I located a set of rims 5V Spoke Chrome from a 01 coupe front rims 18X9.5 and rear rims 19X10.5. The rims I'm interested in have new tires just didn't note the tire size. Will the rims I'm interested in fit directly onto my 98 coupe? As always, thank you

All year C5's whether Coupe, Vert, FRC, or Z06 all came with 17f/18r wheels and tires from factory. If the wheels you are interested in are 18f and 19r, they are aftermarket. From the pic you posted those are aftermarket wheels. They will fit your 98 with no issues. Likey tire size will probably be a 265 or 275 for the front and 295-305 for the rear.
