Can the same size tires/wheels be used on C5?
I will be needing new tires before too long and am wondering if it is possible to change from the staggered 17 and 18 inch wheels and go with all 17 or all 18 inch wheels, running the same size rubber all around.
I am thinking then the tires can be rotated.

No.....The car comes from the factory with tires in the rear that are approximately 1" larger in OD than the fronts, and the car's computer programming is set up to see that difference in wheel speed, to keep the traction control, active handling, and ABS in sync.

I've got 275/35 (25.6") in the front and 295/35(26.1") with no issues.

He wants the same size tires all around, so he can rotate his tires.
