Real Quick - Tires and Rims
This is a beaten topic, I am sure, but I am a bit new and could use a quick refresher course.
What is larger/wider size rims and tires can I get away with without problems of rubbing or hitting the fenders on a 99 C5?
I want to use Bridgestone POS's: What size compliments 18x9.5, and 18x10.5's
and 19's ???????? Tire sizes for 19's ?????????
Thanks in advance :D :cheers:

For those rim widths, in 18s front/rear:
Front - 265/35/18
Rear - 295/35/18
The Bridgestone S02 is made in both these sizes. I could not find a 19" Bridgestone, so if you are set on that tire, forget about 19's.

OK - Cool. 19's look sweet but the last thing I want is a damaged tire and not to be able to replace it quickly because the size is too rare.
Thank you to all who answer from this point forward !!! I can't ever learn too much here. :thumbs: :D
