Another tire thread?!
A friend of mine gave me a set of wheels with Proxes on them but I'm not sure if they will fit my C5:
305/35/18
245/45/18
My car is stock. Does anyone know if these will fit without rubbing?
Thanks!

I bet they would not rub, BUT you will have some Traction Control issues with this particular stagger.
In addition, the width of the rears is outside the safety margin for OE wheel widths. If you are running the stock wheels for the Coupe, you are on a 9.5 wheel and probably need an 11.5 or 12.0 wheel to match a 305mm tire. The front is okay as far as width of wheel vs tire, but you are running 18's on both the front and rear, really screwing with your stagger and the AH/TC math.
Good luck
