Default Pirelli 355x25x19 tire with a tub?

Hello Everyone,
I currently have HRE 19 x 10.5 in. wheels on my C5 vette. I want to tub my car with the Lingenfelter kit and have HRE instal 12.5in. barals on my wheels. Will I be able to run the Pirelli 355 tires without any rubbing issues? My car is lowered on long bolts. Has anyone tried this? Thanks in advance!

I rub on the areas shown in the pics with a passenger,full of gas and ~200 lbs of stuff in the back with a homemade tub (filling in the stock inner liners) with 18 x 12 HREs +74mm offset with 345/35/18 lowered too.
Mine is a tall tire but it gives you an idea of the points to look for and what I did to minmimize a little scrub.......the Lingenfelter tub kit would probably not scrub......
