Would these wheels fit my 1999
I have stock 17's on the front and 18's on the back. I found some 18's for the front and 19's for the back: 2 Front = 275/35ZR18
2 Rear = 325/30ZR19

Jim depends on the offsets of the wheels.
Here are the stock wheel sizes for the C5
C5 (coupe/vert):
Front 17x8.5", 58mm offset = 7.03" backspace
Front stock tire size is 245/45/zr17
Rear 18x9.5" 65mm offset = 7.81" backspace
Rear stock tire size is 275/40/zr18
275 up front and 325 out back is pushing the tire width. Probably would poke past the fender.

Give discount tire a call they will help you out, I think the widest tire on stock vette's is 305, 275 are ok for the front

It's all in the offsets. I'm running a 295/30-19 and 315/30-20 setup with 10.5" wheels on all for corners. 325's would definitely be pushing it though and just might not be doable.
