18/19 Tire Size?
Just order set of 18x9.5 and 19x11 C6 Z06 wheels from Bob. Is 275/35/18 and 305/30/19 acceptable? Or should I go with 265/35/18 up front? Want to make sure no rub after cut 2/3 off front bushing to lower and that tires won't stick out. Thanks!

I am running the same size rims as you are.. and for the street I picked 265/35/18 & 295/35/19 BFGoodrich KDW II's They ride nice and the tires last a long time.
Now I have race tires and wheels so I wasnt looking to have these tires do everything but drive on the street.
Best of luck to you on your tire decisions.

I might add that at one time I was running 18" all the way around with 10" fronts and 11.5" in the back with 285/30 & 335/30's in the back... they did stick out a little but never came in contact with the body even when the car was slammed to the ground with no bushing shaved or removed.

I too run 265/35R18s in the front and 305/30R19s in the rear. I run the 265s so they are just inside the front fender lip on the front...I don't like that you can see the tops of the tires with the 275s when you look straight down on them from above the car
