Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum, I drive a 04 C5 that I'm starting to personalize a little at a time. Just got a set of brand new 799 heads to send to AI and get them flowing right. I got some SS brake lines, new rotors, pads, belts, plugs, wires, new fluids.. Just doing the basics IMO to start with a new base line. I have 60k on the eng. so I was thinking to do the engine and throw in some forge pistons and rods.
Now I'm trying to decide if I should purchase the Cray Brickyard in 19/20 or 18/19 or keep it stock size17/18 and just go with wider rims and tires.
Also I want to thank everyone for all the good post and information on the forum!
Have a great day and god bless.

Welcome to the forum. As for the wheels, if you have good tread on the tires and they are not OEMs (age concern), you might want to stick with stock sizes. If the tires need replacement, an 18/19 set would be a good choice.

Thank you Jack, the tires on the OEM wheels have 3000 miles on them, but I was checking the car over in the lift and noticed that my front tires are cupping... so I ordered a new set of Bilstein HD to replace the OEM ones and c6 z06 sway bars. Hopefully after all this and a good alignment I can choose wheels.
