ok so I have a set of c5 wheels. 17x8.5 and 18x9.5. I was thinking about running 245/45/17 and 245/40/18. Is this a good combo? according to tire rack they both measure 25.7 in hight. so i can keep a stock set of sy rims with 245/50/16 drag tas for the back(when i go to the track). good idea?

Re: more tire sizes

i am running 245/40r18 all the way around on my z-06 rims, i have not put them on the car yet(no spacers) but there is pics look in post "my new rims".
i kept with the size to stay a stock size also.
but it may look kind of funny having a bigger tire up front,
id say try it out it may look fine

275/35/18's is my recommendation for the rear. They'll fit a 9.5 inch wheel alot better than a 245.
yes he is correct on this, i am running 245/40 and t275/35 would fi a bit better, but oh'well i already bought my tires. also there is a pic in the lounge in one of the new threads with 17's up front and 18's in back, it dont look bad at all
