Default 19” rim up front, how wide?

Thinking hard about rims, car is black c6Z. I’m thinking I may stick with the stock z rims, but move to a 19 up front. Looks like a 10” rim is about the most narrow. Will that fit well? Pic of the car currently below!

how wide a tire do you want to run,
275 is a lot when it raining and you want to stay straight on a wet road.
I find it a problem to drive my C6 when the roads a wet, a wider tire would make it worse. A stock 18/9.5 is 10.5" wide a 10'' would be 11" wide it should fit ok.
depending on the tire you fit.
stock rim up front depending on model is 18x9.5 40mm offset there are cars with 18x9.5 59mm offset so there should be room engine side for an extra 19mm ( 3/4" )

Car doesn’t see much rain, not sure what size tire to run on the wheel quite yet, assuming a 285 or 295 if I can.

so a 19x10 would fit? Anyone have pics of 19’s all the way around?

Got a glitch here, since the rear tires have to be 1.04% larger OD than the front tires for the car to not throw codes.

19x10F and 19x12R
Forgestar CF10, they come to the edge of the fender a little more, don't recall what the offset was.
Edit: Tires are 275/30-19 and 345/30-19 No codes or issues. I have also ran 335/30-19 on the rear too.

I'm running 19"'s up front and 20"s in the rear....285 and 335's. Just about perfect.

P.S. You know you want to swap those rims out for black ones.....

Awesome thanks. So a 19x10 with a 285 should be perfect

With what wheels? Trying to research proper fit myself. Ordered 285/35R19 and it’s too much sidwall. Only other size option to match the rear tires is 295/30.
