I am running 18x9.5s in front and no rubbing!

Tire size is 265/35/18s.

However, best to replace the rears with 19" (IMHO)

Yes, unless it is a ZO6, they run 18x10.5.

i think a 10.5 for the front might be too wide...if it's the stock rear wheels from a Z.

somebody correct me if that's wrong.

18x9.5's work fine, 18x10.5s are another story.
