Whyeel Size ?
Replacing the wheels on my 2000 C5. Have the standard tires front and rear (245/17---275/18) and I think 8.5 F / 9.5 R wheel size. Can I use my standard tires (they are too new to replace now) If I go up to wheel size 9.5 F / 10.5 R. Does anyone know if this would cause any problems, or should I stay with original size for my new wheels ?

Your stock tires will fit the wider wheels, but it would be wise to upgrade to the wider tires when your current ones need replacing.
Also realize that upgrading to the Z06-sized tires in the future means losing the runflat security. If you want to keep using runflats, you'd be best off sticking with the stock size wheels.
