I'm thinking of upgrading to bigger wheels. 2004 C5 was wondering if anyone has gone to square setup or 18/19 to accommodate easier to find tires, fill the fenders more and possibly a bigger brake kit (like wilwood 6 piston). Also, considering headers cam in the future, which is why I'd go to bigger brakes.
 
You can, It can be lowered about 1/2 to 3/4" on the stock bolts, If you change out the bolts you can go a bit lower.
I won't be lowering mine, I like it the way it sits. My A$$ is only 10" off the asphalt now as it is, and the roads down here are not worthy of a lowered vehicle (although there are pleanty of them here)

The first thing I did with my C5 was the skip shift eliminator, the idiot light still comes on but now I don't have to miss 2nd and 3rd rolling up through the gears.

Ya, I did that with my Camaros also. Plus changed the shifter to a ...er ... um... 5.0

Went with CCW SP 16A wheels designed for a big brake upgrade. 19" front and rear with Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires. Beautiful wheels IMHO!.

Can you not lower a C5 to remove the gap?

the roads where I live and driveway will not be kind to a lowered car. Sadly unless I commit to some airbags or something adjustable in car. Maybe a C8 with the adjustable ride height is in my future lol!
