If your including stock wheels of 18x10.5 then i would say 315's are the widest you would want to go. The tire will Crown like hell when going to wide, and you would not benifit from the wider tire because you will be mostly riding on the center of the tire. Ive read alot of guys run 305 on the rear, maintain good wear and have good traction.

315/35/18 Toyo TQ Drag Radials.
Car up in the air, it was NOT rubbing on the rear Z06 brake duct. It's got about a 1/4"-1/2" gap when the car is on the ground. I'm lowered all the way on stock bolts, and I have ZERO rubbing issues.

They are a good combo tire IMO. The sidewall is a little soft for spirited driving but once you get use to the initial roll over feeling as you go in to a corner too hot they're fine. I've only driven in the rain a few times with them but as long as you don't do anything stupid you'll be fine.

I've got 19x11" rear wheels, but these fit
Nitto Invos...325-30/19, same overall diameter as stock. No rubbing, no cutting of the ducts, and fully lowered on stock bolts.

You might want to go ahead with your plan to trade for 18" ers, if you can't get a good DR in 19". Invos are a great street tire, but not for drag racing. They seem to like the twisties, and even a wet road better than straight ahead grip. There are several brands now making that size, though. You might want to check out.
