Have a question about Y2k rim sizes!
I drive a 2000 C5 with the stock rims. I really like the look of the rims and would like to keep the Y2k style, but I'm getting to the point with more and more mods where I'm needing more rubber on the ground in back. Does anyone know where I could come across larger sizes than an 18x9.5 in a Y2k. Like maybe a 18x10.5 that I could fit some 295's or 305's on?

Try Zip, they are listed here as a supporting vendor. I got a pair of 18" X 10.5" Y2k style wheels with painted finish from them about 7 months ago. They match the original wheels, so I could put the factory 18" X 9.5" wheels on the front and use the 265/35-18 & 295/35-18 combination. The wheels are made by Factory Reproductions in California. I had to talk to a supervisor at Zip in order to get them to process an order as this style was not shown in their product line. It should have been no big deal for them as all they had to do was send an order to the wheel maker who shipped them directly to me. This is probably the least expensive way to go if you don't want chrome as you only have to buy 2 wheels instead of four. :cheers:
Mid America also carries 18x10.5 Y2K style. I put the rear rims ont the front and bought 2 new 18x10.5's for rear. Went with 265/35 & 295/35's. Very pleased with the combo.
