Default Tire size question

I am now one of the many that is going to put the new C6 wheels on a C5. I bought 18X8.5 and 19X10.

my question is what are the best sizes for this set up? I would like a wide look on the rears but I dont want them to rub.

What is the biggest I can go with the rears without running into any problems?

Thank you.
David

Do you mean 19x11's for the rear? I put 305/30/19's and no rub. Have heard of people going to a 315/30/19, but I can't imagine how...




Peace

Just curious why you got wheels narrower than Z06ers?

Willfullone, has the perfect sizes, with everything 'inside' the well!
