Default tire and wheel combo

was thinking of getting 19x11 in the rear and was wondering if anyone knows if the Yokahama avs 295/35/19 will fit? and if there will be any problems with the rear rubbing or bottoming out. BTW, the fronts are gonna be 18x9.5, with 245/40/18 which I don't think will be a problem. What are your opinions?

The rears will fit and work fine.

For the fronts, I'd suggest a 265/35/18 or 275/35/18. The 245/40 will work though if that's what you want...but they are a bit narrow for a 9.5" wheel though.

:cheers:

I have ZO6 repros on the front of my 97 c5, lowered 1", and run 18/9.5 w/Yokohama 275/35/18 AVS Sports-no rubbing. Nice increase in turn in force!

The size shouldn't be a problem, but the tires really are not that good, my roomate has those tires....crappy in the rain, crappy when dry
