I was wondering if there was issues with choosing 17x11 tire wheel combination on a C5.
Just guessing there may be rubbing issues in the front. I have not come across a discussion on this issue to date. Just thinking of future projects. |

I wouldn't do it. Both my Vettes (92 and 01 Z06) handled much better with wider rubber on the rear. On my 92 I went from 17x9.5 w/275s all around to 17x9.5 w/ 275 front and 17x11 w/ 315s rear. On the Z06, I used the stock wheels/tires for street, but had the best handling at the track with a 275 front, 315 rear setup just like I used on the 92. Both the C4s and C5s were designed to have offset widths, while the f-body was designed with a single width in mind.
