Default Anyone running 305/30/19 Hankook RS3 on C6 Z06 wheels?

I've hear that a lot of people like these tires but the only size they make for the rear is 305/30/19.

I've also heard that they run wide like a 325, is anyone running them is this true?

Just wondering about fitment. I was going to get the RE-11 but the 275/35/18 is out of stock everywhere and they're discontinued.

Do either of you have pics of that setup on the 12" rear wheel? I have 4 285/35/18's that I could run on the front but was also disappointed to see I had no options for the rear. Your posts give a lot of hope. I have Michelin Pilot Sport ZP's in a 325 now and they look like they are too narrow. Tire rack says the section and tread width on the Michelin's are wider than the Hankook's. Hoping your comment about them running wide makes them look workable. MUCH APPRECIATED if you could post some pics please!!!

I might be a wildcard here, but in my experience on a 275/35/18 the RS3 ran much narrower than the same size PSS, and even narrower than the same size NT01, granted R comps always run pretty wide so i wasn't surprised there. I would estimate they were about 3/8 of an inch narrower than the PSS, and 1/2 an inch narrower than the NT01. I'll try to get a pic of the comparison when i have a minute as i still have them sitting in my garage.
