Interesting though is that Michelins (I have bought the cups), and others, are specified 10.5-11.5 in this size!?

Good to know, and I was scared off before!

The magic question is will a C5 take a 315 up front too? I've heard of 295 going on up front and they are larger diameter.

Here are a couple pics for you. This is a prototype splitter so the fit and finish are a little to be desired.
