Will These Tire/Wheel Size fit?
I wanna put 19x10 up front and 20x12 in back on my vette. Will these fit without tubbing the rear? Will I feel an understeer or anything like that with this configuration?

Fronts, yes.
Rear, no...not w/o tubbing....uness you offset them to stick out of the fender a lot.
The question then becomes...what tire sizes were you planning to use with those size wheels?

No one makes that rear size that I know of, and they'd be mega-tall if they are made.
Pirelli does make a 345/25/20, and they would fit...but you'd definitely need tubbing, or expect them to stick out of the fenders well over an inch.
The front, 275/30/19 is what you want. This is the size of my fronts (on 19x9.5 wheels), and they work perfectly. A 275/35/19 would be too tall.

Can't really comment about the handling effects for certain. I would guess if you did actually run those sizes, you'd have more oversteer.
