Wheel and Tire combo
I have seen alot of different setups, I can't seem to find anything that says what the largest tire/wheel combo you can fit under a stock C5 without rubbing. I am thinking of going up 1 inch in diameter, but not sure how wide I can go without rubbing...at all! Any input would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks

I know people have gone wider than this, but as an example, CCW sells a 19x10" fr and 19x11" rr wheel setup with either 275 or 285/35 fr tires and 305/30 rr tires. SUPPOSEDLY you can put an 18x11.5" wide rear wheel (with the correct offset) with a 335/30-18 tire w/o rubbing or sticking out (or not very much, at least).

I don't have it so I can't confirm, but I believe it's House of Wheels that claims to have an 18X12 wheel that doesn't need tubbing.

but they will stick out past the fender.if you want the widest you can go without rubbing and without sticking past the fender, you need a 19x11" @ 63mm and a 305/30/19 tire.
if you don't care if it goes past the fender, just get the 18x12 mentioned above.

THanks for the feedback guys! What about the fronts? I want to get as much rubber on the ground all around without any worries of rubbing. Is a 19x10 285/35 it? What offset?
Thanks
