C6 Tire Size Question
I have a C6, here are my current tire sizes:
305x30x19 rear with 18x9.5 +53 wheels
265x35x18 front with 19x11 +73 wheels
Question.. I want to run R6s at the track. Closest available sizes:
315x30x19 rear
275x35x18 front
So they are 10 wider, each tire. Need to know if I can use this size.. hoping to hear from those with experience... thanks.

You don't have stock sizes now so ---.
Try http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp
Get the closest diameter to stock 245/40/18 F and 285/35/19 R
Too large a difference in diameter from stock will cause A/H & T/C problems.
Bear in mind that a 245/40/18 from brand A won't be the same measurements as a 245/40/18 from brand B even though the tables say they are. I don't think any manufacturer actually measures their tires, if they do they all must have different standards of measurment.
