Rim and tire
Looking at buying a set of c6 z06 black oem wheels 18 and 19 inch rims. I was planning on using these tire sizes. 245/40/18 front & 275/35/19 rear. By reducing the middle number from a 45 to 40 in the front and 40 to 35 in the rear this should equal out for nice balance performance look and be fine guys ?

You have the tire diameter's spot on at 25.7" tall for the front and 26.6" tall for the rear (only short by 0.1" from stock) However I'd think that those being such wide rims, you'd still have them poking if you dont have wide fenders, but they'd have tires that don't optimize contact patch. I'd probably just stick with stock 18/19 C6 base wheels if I wanted those wheel diameters but this is just my opinion

Those are the stock C5 tire sizes which result in 25.7" and 26.7" tall
The 18/19" tires you chose are 25.7 and 26.6" tall
C6 Z06 wheels are much wider though. They poke out on the stock C5 body. Then to put a smaller width tire on, would be going towards the stretched tire look. This is what I meant by having a wheel that pokes but not optimal tire contact patch for the corresponding wheel
