Largest Tire On a Stock Rim
I am looking to get rid of my OEM RunFlats and am thinking of upgrading to the Nitto NT-555R Drag Radials. What is the largest (widest) size tire that can be safely put on a stock C5 rim?
Does anyone have any reccomendations for tires other than the Nittos??
Thanks - Chad

Re: Largest Tire On a Stock Rim (CWillard)
a search will turn up a good amount on this subject but from what I remember when I asked the question:
fronts: I believe 255/40/17
rear: I believe 285/35/18, although I know people have stuffed 295s on the rear stock rims :eek:
