Anyone run 305 or 315 tires on 10" rims in front?

Those sizes really like about a 10.5" to 11" wheel as a minimum, the wider wheel improves steering response nicely. I'm running mine on 12" wheels now (315 Hoosiers) and they are sticking great.
You will get some fender rubbing if the car is low, as well as possibly rubbing on the wheel well and a-arm at full lock, those tires are wide.

I have one friend running C5 Z06 rears up front with 305's on an 03Z and it works well but it does rub the fender a bit. He has T1 bars with stock springs for now and runs 2 degrees negative camber. But there is a little rub, nothing to worry about (they'll scalp themselves).

I have run 315 Goodyear tires on a GS front rim. It's a squeeze. You really don't get the whole tire on the road, because of sidewall pinch. The Goodyear DOT R compound tires seem to fit better on smaller rims than, say, Kumho. It would work fine on a 10" rim, I'd think. I much prefer to run 295s or 275s on my rims.
