wheel question guys!
Guys I have a 97 C5 and want to put 18" wheels all the way around, Can I run a 10.5 rim in the front without modification ? If so what is the max tire size I can run without modification? And are you guys seeing a big help in going from the 18 17 wheel setup to 18 all the way around when it comes to handling? thanks! please PM

I am running a 19x10 in the front with 285s. I would try and keep the width on the rim to 10" or less up front. I think a lot has to do with the correct offset. No clearence issue when turning up front. I am running a 19x11.5 in the rear with 305s. I did this on the recommenaton of CCW. If I did it again, I would likely stay with 11" rims in the rear. The clearence on the 11.5s in the rear is just took tight in my opinion. No problems though.
Same should hold true for 18s. You just need to adjust the tire sidewall aspect ratio for 18s. Good luck.
