Default Wheel help. 18 x 9 square setup

Hello everyone,

I am thinking of getting a set of wheels the specific set of wheels I want only come in 18 x 9 +25 square setup (that fit a base c5) . Does anyone run this specific setup? I am curious of seeing pictures because it seems a little small to me specially out back. Also what size tire would be best to run on this setup. Thank you in advance.

A 9" width is going to limit you to a 265 tire, 275 tops. More importantly, that +25 offset is insufficient for that wheel width so there will be considerable poke.

Thank you for your reply. I'm new to all this and it hasn't been the easiest thing to find wheels that I like and workout.

That's why this site is here for, to ask questions. For a C5, you want to look for wheels with offsets in the +50's, with very few exceptions.
