Default 10in 40mm offset clear front brakes?

Could not find anyone running this setup on the wheel database.

Does anyone know if I can get away with running 19x10 with 40mm offset up front.

Was planning on running 265/30/r19, but the company milling the wheels has concerns of clearing brakes.

I have SSBC brake kit up front currently.

EDIT: Ended up going with 19x8.5 +44 offset. Will post to wheel & tire database once they are mounted.
19x10 +40 probably too wide with stock front fenders.

What wheels do you have? A 19x10 with +40 offset will poke, noticeably.

Agreed. From what I've gathered a C5Z rear wheel up front is getting a little aggressive on fitment, which is 10.5" wide and ET58 offset. A 10" wide ET40 wheel will "poke" out almost 1/2" more than C5Z rear wheel.

The whees are Variant AURE.

I ended up going with 19x8.5 +44mm. Will probbbably be close to flush, only concern now is if I should still run 265 or if I need to shrink to 255

For reference, C6 stock wheels/tires are 18x8.5 and 245/40/18. I'm running 255/40/18 on C6 base front wheels, and wouldn't go any wider on tires especially at that offset.

A 265/30/19 really needs at least a 9" wide wheel.
