Thanks! I went with 18's and took a shot hoping that they will clear C5 brakes; I printed out the template and just need to check. The fronts are 18x8 with 4.5 backspace. The rears are 18x9 with 5.25 backspace. The rears fit with the stock rear end setup, but looks pretty close to the outer edge. A bunch of lowering might cause rubbing issues. I've already cut and rolled back the outer edge on the rear wheel housings so it should clear my setup. No tires yet, so I can't provide any feedback on that yet. My goal is at least a 275, maybe a 285.
