Default Will these Eagle F1 Tires fit the C5

Hi,

I searched everywhere to get the answer and cannot find it at all. Does any one know if Eagle F1 Supercar tires P225/40R19 96w will fit my 97; Same size front and back-19". The only reason being is that I have someone willing to sell these nearly new tires for a real cheap price. Thanks so much for any help.

Or does someone have a picture of a C5 with 19" front and back

You can not run the same size tire front and back, You have to have a difference in diameter from front to rear or you will have TC issues, Also a stock C5 has 17 and 18 inch wheels stock, Not 19 inch. You didn't mention if you had new wheels that are 19 inch.

225 is a very narrow tire for a corvette, they are not even close to original sizes. I would never run this narrow a tire in the back. Also I don't believe the R rating is high enough for a vette.
