Default Wheel size for camber

If you’re going for camber on your C5, what should your wheel size be? Should you go 18” all around? Should you go with 18”s and 19”s? Are wide tires bad?

Are you looking to tuck wheels in, for a look, or adjust for track performance?

Those have to be 22s with rubber band tires.

Your car, your money so go for the look you want. Can't help you with your questions though, as that is not a look I would have wanted for any of the C5s that I owned.
