Need help with tire questions
I have an 04 C5 coupe and I'm having the flared rear fenders painted and installed. I purchased some wheels 20 x 12 rear and 19 x 10 fronts. I'm putting some 345/25-20 on the rear and they have an OD 26.8. My question is about the front tires. I was wanting to go with a 265/30-19 with an OD of 25.4. The reason I want to use the 265's on the front is to keep the amount of tire that will be sticking outside the fender to minimum. Will the 265 that's 1.4" smaller in OD mess up my AH/TC. I notice a lot guys that have the 19 x 10 wheels on the front seem to go with 275/30-19 and on avg they have an OD of 25.6, but these tires are also at least 1/2" wider which will make the tires stick out from under the fenders even more. So will the 265 work? Thanks for any help you can give.

You shouldn't have any problems with the tire sizes you mention.
