Default Tire size..
I am running a 345/30/19 in the rears, 275/35/18 in the front. What front tire size should I be using? I believe the front is to small with 345's Thanks.

What width are your front wheels?

I wouldn't run anything wider than a 275, on a 9" width wheel. If that large of a size difference bothers you, you could always drop back to a 325 rear. Not really necessary, though.
C6 Z06's & Grand Sports came with a 275/325 tire combo.
