Default ?? Maximum Wheel size ??

Im running 18"s frt and 19"s rear on my C5.

I need to purchase another set for th front.

Will an 18"x 10.5" rim fit up front?

Or is that rim width too wide?

I run a 10.5X19 front, (13X20 rear)!
A lot of guys mount 4 rear 10.5X18 ZO6 wheels all around!

It is not too wide to fit, but it may be more than you want on a street car, the steering will be adversely affected due to the roads. I talked to CCW about this when I was getting new front wheels, and he said 9.5 is about as wide as you want to go.
