planning on purchasing a set of nitto 555 for my 2000 c5 coupe. I have the stock size wheels on the car, ive been reading up that the nittos tires are actually narrower. which size would you guys recommend for nitto tires, I really don't want a narrow tire..... pictures would help me if possible
thanks!

I have OEM wheels with Nitto 555 245/45ZR17 and 275/40ZR18. Don't seem narrow to me. Great tires by the way!

Awesome, have a picture of the rear?

I had same ones on my Vette when i bought it back in 2010. I had about 40k moles on them and they were just above the wear bars. Good tires but didnt have the sizes for my new wheels so had to get something else.

I'm thinking about this type of look, however I don't know what size will accommodate a 9.5 rim. I kind of like the "beefy" look

Anyone have any suggestionsor a general idea on what size would fit ok
a 9.5x18 rim and have this look?

You might consider stepping up one size

255/45/17 front and 285/40/18 rear. These sizes will fit both the stock base C5 wheels or the stock C5 Z06 wheels.
They keep the 1" stagger to keep the computers happy, and the speedometer will still be pretty close. (When speedometer reads 60 mph, actual speed will be 60.7 mph)

I ran those sizes on my '99.

Nitto NT555's are available in those sizes too.
