Default How does this sound for wheels on a c5 ???

Would 19x10 in back and 18x9 in front look dumb ?
And how would it affect my traction ?

Or even 20x10 in rear and 19x8 in front ?

Or should i just stick with 18x9 and 18x 10 's ?

:confused:

He might be a :troll but we still welcome him in... The better performance combo would be the 18s in the front and 19s in the back. The 10 in. wide in the back would look fine :seeya

Bitchin!!!!!!

I'd love to see a Hugger Orange vette.
Thought for a while about doing a creamsicle with Hugger Orange and white stripes, but decided to keep the lower profile color so as to help keep the fuzz's attention off of me.

Don't paint a Nassau! :sad:

As for the rims, go with 18x11 in the back. Fits just fine.
