Default C7 wheels

Hi guys looking to go with the black c7 wheels I wanted to go 18 in the fronts 19 in the back so I can go with a big brake kit eventually

Has anyone got sizes on these wheels and any tire recommendations?

I thought they were +56 front and rear but not sure, been a while, WCC site shows what wheel fit so I didn't pay that much attention, was so confused by then what the heck would fit for tire size for the + inch or so for the back tires for the ABS and AH to work right !!

245/40/18 front 295/35/19

The fronts in that size are 25.7" in overall diameter and the rears are 27.1".

The general guidelines is the stagger between front and rear needs to be in the .5" to 1.5" difference range. Accordingly, those sizes should be fine for your car and not have any TC/AH problems.
