Front Tire Sizes???
As the title says. What is the biggest tire we can run on our C5's on the front . Without rubbing the inner fenders. I am running 18x9.5 rims on the front.
Thanks for your help.

I am wondering if we can get by with a 285/35/18 on the front. I am running Pirelli P Zero's on the back and can find lots of 285/35/18 Pirelli and the largest Pirelli's for the front are 255 or 265's, that I have been able to find.

You could fit it, yes...but next question becomes what size tire you're running on the rear?
You need to keep the rear tire taller than the front to avoid Traction Control interference issues, and a 285/35/18 on the front is a bit on the tall side (compared to most commonly used rear tire sizes).
