The tire size will fit the rim fine and I dont think you will have problems with lowering or the way it looks.

Rubbing will all depend on if you bought wheels with the right offset. If they are made for a C5, they should be ok.

That tire would fit fine on an 18x10.5 wheel, and would not cause any problems on the car.....no rubbing, nothing.. The Z06's come from the plant with 295/35x18's. BE sure the offset on the wheel is correct too, anywhere from +54 to +65

The hardest part for you will be to actually find a pair of 305/35x18's.

I don't beleive I've ever seen that size tire....
