Default 19 inch wheels

I own a 1998 c5 and currently i have the stock wagon wheels. I want to uprade them and a friend of mine happens to work at a rim shop. He wants me to put 19" rims in both the front and the rear. I wanted to know if the tires are going to rub in the front. I know the rear is ok no spacer or anyting like that needed i can just throw it on, but like i said i dont know about the front. also if i can put a 19 inch rims in the front what size tire should i go with?

19 x10 (275/30/19) 19 x 11 (295/30/19) will work fine.

If the wheels have the right offset you woun't have any problems. I don't know the offset on my wheels but I run 19 x 10 up front and 19 x 11 on the rear 275 30 19 and 305 30 19 for tires
