Pete, what size wheels are those? I run 19/18 right now (temporarily) as they came off the C5. They seem to look good in person, but in pictures they look too big.

They are 285/40ZR18 all around. I'm going to photochop them and look at them as 285/35ZR18. If that doesn't make me happy, I'll save for a 17' wheel again.

This is how it used to look when I bought it with the 17" C5 replicas. The #1 reason I got rid of them was the stupid 8.5" front wheel. Gosh I hated that size.

GJ on the pictures. I like the wheels the way they are.

Nice pictures Pete! I like them spoke wheels and would gladly take them off your hands if they were 17"'s.

I did some photochopping and use the wheel calculator and the visual issue is that the 285/40ZR18 is 1" bigger in diameter than 285/40ZR17. The 285/35ZR18 is 0.1" smaller than stock.

28/35ZR18 it is. If that does not satisfies me I'll have three years to save for new 17" wheels. Plenty of time to determine which wheel I would buy.
