Default tire question

So, i have quite a bit of aftermarket suspension. I enjoy the handling but i'm not gonna be a hardcore track car! I have some new c5 rims on the way and wanted to know what would be a good tires size combination. Would 295 be to big on the back? would 255 be alright for the front? Any suggestions would be awesome. I would love the as beefy look as i can go, but i don't want to sacraficeturning capability to much. Thanks guys.

i run 275's all around and they fit perfectly. 255s will look a little stretched on ur rim but you can do it. i think a 295 should mount alright too

the rims are 17x8.5 and 18x8.5 i have 265 on the stock salad shooters right now on the back. That's stretchin a bit but it looks pretty bad *** imo.

I have C5 rims also and the front are 255 and the rear are 275 but my rear rims are 18 by 10 so the are wider than your and the 275's look to narrow. I would go with 295 for the beefy look you're looking for.

sorry, they are 10.5 inches in the rear and 9.5 in the front, my bad. I got them all mounted but the rears are too big. Will 1/2" wheel spacers be enough to get them on there?
