Wheel Size
Is it ok to run all four wheels the same size (18"), do the front have to be a size smaller?

Your ABS brake system may not function properly if you deviate significantly from the original wheel diameters.
You can play with wheel sizes and aspect ratios of tires to maintain the proper ratio.
Check ZO6 tire dia. vs. stock C5 dia. and note aspect ratio diff while tire dia. is about the same.
Aspect ratio is the center number i.e. 295/
35 /18, and refers to the section height of the tire i.e. from the top of the rim to the top of the tire.
May the BOOST be with you!
