I am replacing the wheels and tires on my 99 convertible.Car will be used for cruising and short trips. No track days or racing. I am going with the Cray Manta wheels in chrome. 19's in back,18's up front. For tires I was told 285 - 35's in back and 245 - 40's in the front. plan to lower the rear 1 inch with WCC's lowering bolt.Looking for input and opinions.

How wide are your wheels? I have the stock wheels on my car 17x8.5 and 18x9.5 and I'm running 265/40/17 and 295/35/18. I know you have larger wheels but if the widths are the same you should be able to run similar sizes.

rear wheels are 10.5'' wide and front wheels are 9.0'' wide

I have 245/35/18 f and 285/30/19r on Cray Mantas, I'm not real happy with the look of the sidewall on the back, to skinny.

You need at least a 295 if not a 305 in the back otherwise it will look skinny back there. Im sure lot of guys will be posting in on this.

I have Cray Scorpion wheels with Nitto Invo tires. The recommended 18/19 sizes are 18 x 9 wheel (265/35/18 tires) in front and 19 x 10.5 wheel (305/30/19 tires) in the rear. The offset and fit are perfect.

I've got 18/19s
245/40/18 front
285/35/19 rear
same diameter as stock c5 tires.

thanks for all the input on the tire sizes. I ran the 3 different sizes and converted to inches for overall diameter size.The sizes I originally posted and confirmed by Phil appear to have the largest diameter, which is what I am looking for to fill up the wheel wells.Any thoughts or concerns on lowering just the rear?

Cray suggests 245/40/18 and 285/35/19.
