TSWs in 19/20, I must say I do get a little rub on hard bumps in corners, but I refuse to raise it. I have 295 Pilot SS which must have a bit more sidewall bulge.

I run the following setup with no issues at all.
wheels are vossen vvs 087
Front tires 275 30 19
Rear tires 305 25 20
from what im told you want to keep the rolling diameter even not tilted. So because my wheels are 19 in front and 20 in the rear I have to have a slightly taller tire up front to compensate for the slightly larger wheel in the rear.

Your front tire is NOT taller! It's 1 1/2 inches smaller diameter.
Front to rear diameter difference is there stock and has to be there when you change sizes. Shorter front, taller rear stock and aftermarket.
Your posted tires are 30% of 275 mm X 2 + 19" Front and 25% of 305mm X2 + 20" Rear. Very close to stock.
Wheels size only counts if the tire size changes also. % of sidewall height changes with the width of the tire.

I agree! The other option is to go with a 4” lift kit and a 4” body lift! Oops uniframe! Okay so let’s go with a 6” lift kit and spend the money for a one off, offset driveshaft. You should be able to then clear an all-terrain tire and even install off-road suspension or maybe “air ride” to get your vette to bounce!

Rims look very ghetto as the other dude said. I'd get rid of those fast. I'd recommend speaking to a shop that works with suspension.
If not, I think what you mentioned should be fine for 19s and 20s tires. Id be aware that your current sidewalls are very small and most will add more.

I didn’t think I’d like it, but it looks pretty good. Do you have F55 mag ride? I’m guessing your rear shocks are worn out. My rear was bottoming out over bumps with a 19/20 setup at 50k. Replaced all 4 shocks with new Z06 shocks for $300 shipped to my door. No more rubbing and rides great. It looks like you’ve got plenty of clearance there. Lots of guys lower with less clearance and no rubbing. I’d look at the shocks.
