Wheel Size ?
Replacing the wheels on my 2000 C5. Have the standard tires front and rear (245/17--275/18) and I think 8.5 F / 9.5 R wheel size. Can I use my standard tires (they are too new to replace now) If I go up to wheel size 9.5 F / 10.5 R. Does anyone know if this would cause any problems, or should I stay with the original size for my new wheels?

18x11f with 285/30x18 and 18x12r with 335/30x18
I have also used same rims with 26.5x11.5x18 front and rear. Same tire on all four corners.
I am wondering if the rims you wish to get are too small for the tires you have??

Check with them on what size tires are recommended for the width of your rims.
