I wonder what it would do if I switched to 305's in the rear of my C2S when it arrives? Maybe add spacers as well?

Thanks for any input on this one.

I'll switch to the 305's when the rear 295's wear out. I have H & R springs and the 5mm spacers, and will carefully check the fit with the 305's. I really, really don't want any problems with the tire rubbing on the fender lip.

With the car lowered due to H & R springs you may rub the fender. Please let us know.

At least on the C4s there is a 17mm spacer that is installed between the rotor and the rim which allows for the rear rims to not be deep inset so that the front and rears look similiar.

Perhaps they are referring to the Sport Wheel Option - 19 x 11.5 with 305's.

Not yet tested properly. It's hard to tell right now as well as I am just so happy to have the snows off and the summers on!

Thanks,but I'm still a little confused. Coochas car is a C4s and he is only using 17mm spacer with his snow wheels and 5mm spacers with the classics. Unless I,m not see the other 17mm spacers...

Winter = 17mm (stock - no 5mm option installed)
Summer = 17mm + 5mm
