Not C7 wheels, but I have OEM C6 ZO6 wheels, in that same size & offset, and I have included a few pictures of how far the tires bulge outside the fenders (soon-to-be wide-body) with 325/30ZR19, using a 3mm spacer

Wait, the stock C6Z wheels need a spacer? I assumed they’d stick out.

They set flush without the spacers with the 325 tire size ?

I was told, prior to buying the tire / wheel combination, that w/o a minimum of a 3mm spacer, they'd rub. Others had said they run the same set-up without spacers, but experienced rubbing under certain circumstances. Not wanting to risk damaging brand new tires, I mounted them using the spacers.
I just laid a yardstick, vertically, against the sidewall, and it measures .875" from the fender with the 3mm (.118") spacer, so I'm calculating that, with no spacer, they'd still bulge a good .750" outside the quarter-panel.

Thanks for the clarification, you mean the wide tires are causing the rubbing & they might be ok with 305 tires .
