* My C5 Z06 with new 19/20 TSW Interlagos and R888's *
The car is filthy but I wanted to throw up a few photos anyway. The wheels are 19x9 and 20x10.5 TSW Interlagos that my good buddy refinished in Competition Gray. The center caps were filled, painted, C5 emblem vinyls added then clear coated over. Tires are 265/30-19 and 315/30-20 Toyo R888's. My car was already pretty slammed (aftermarket bolts) and surprisingly we didn't need to raise the back due to the rear tire's larger diameter. We did however need to massage the inner fender liner, but there's no rubbing at the moment. The suspension is still settling. There are also Pfadt Racing 5mm spacers out back to compensate for the TSW's offsets. This is pretty much the largest tire you can fit in the back without having to mini tub while keeping decent slammage.
I plan on getting some nice photos, but until then, enjoy!

I really like the look of that.
I admire how perfect the stance is on that car, and the rear tire diameter really compliments that - you have the exact same wheel gap not only at the top of the rear tire, but also at the sides. Kudos!

The recessed TSW letters on the centercaps was filled with body filler, sanded, etch primed, painted, printed C5 emblem vinyl applied then five coats of clearcoat applied.
I have minimal mileage on them right now, but so far they are great. The car used to spin through second gear, and now I have yet to get it to spin in first gear. I am sure part of that is from the added weight of the larger rear wheels and tires, but the grip great. They tire noise isn't bad. My car is H/C/I with longtubes and O/R X-pipe and stock Titanium mufflers. I even drove through some rain with no problems.
I've driven the car around 7,000 miles over two years, so I'm not too worried about the tire's wear.

Any issues with running tires that are that much different in height? The specs say the 265 is 25.4" tall and the 315 is 27.6" tall. I thought we had to stay within 1" to keep the traction control from acting up.
I love the look regardless I'm just trying to find out what I can get away with for differences in sizing.
