Default Tire Size for a C6

I have a 2007 C6 Z51....I just bought 22x11 inch Forgiato rims for the rears... Does anyone know if a 315/25/22 tire will be too big for the wheel well, or will this rubber be fine.
The tire dealer thinks the largest I can go on that rim is a 295/25/22 but for some reason I am not convinced as the tire hieght is only 1/4 of an inch taller?? thank you

not sure if they will fit, I'd go with the 295. Post pics when you put them on. Fill out your profile and you might get more responses!

You can do the math yourself with this tier size calculator.

you have to keep the same overall diameter or the speedo will be off and the abs and traction control system will get mad.
