19x10 front wheels
Without passing judgement.... I know this is extreme for the c5 but my question is will they fit even if they stick out just a touch....
19x10 et40 on 275/30/19 or 285/30/19
Thanks folks!!

what is the backspacing/offset on the wheel? assume et40 means 40mm backspace/offset? I know guys put 10.5" wide rears Z06 wheels on the front with up to 295/30/18" tires, they stick out a little but fit. Z06 front 17x9.5-54mm,rear 18x10.5-58mm offset. With a 10" wide wheel and a 40mm offset in the front you will stick out quite a bit, the offset alone is 18mm lower (outword) then a the rear C5Z and 14mm Lower then a C5Z front. someone with 19's will chime in but to me it looks like it will stick out quite a bit.

CCW offers a few options but i dont know the offset on the front. so i know the size works just not the offsets.
c5 setup is 19x10 front and 19x11 rear with either 275-30-19 fr/295-35-19 rear or 275-30-19 fr/305-30-19 rear tire
with a 79mm offset and a 25mm spacer you will get a stock 54mm front offset but keep in mind the wheel is wider and taller. Look at CCW, HRE, Iforge and see what offsets they offer for a front 19" wheel on a C5. any chance you can get away without adaptors/spacers is the best way to do it.

one of the reasons tsw is so popular is that they actually fit. the 18x9 front is a 50mm offset which is within a hair of a 9.5" wheel at 54mm
the rear 10.5" tsw is cast deep at 65mm but becomes 60mm with 5mm spacers making it only 2mm in from stock
this limits your tire sizes to 295 30 19 and 265 35 18 which isn't really choice if you're one of the folks that think fat tires look cool
as far as i know all the good 12" wide rears and 10" wide fronts are custom
