Default Any rubbing issues with a 265 and 305 tire on a stock wheels?

I'm looking to replace my factory tires on my C6 with some Michelin Pilot Super Sports but was wondering if I would have any clearance issues with the fronts or rears especially on full turns. The tire sizes I want to go with are 265/35/18's in the front and 305/30/19's in the rear.

I recently got 305/30/19 size tires in the rear and haven't had any rubbing issues. My car is also lowered.

The only thing that seemed to be a problem was for the guy installing the huge tire on the factory wheel. He was bitchin and moaning the entire time.

Lol, after doing more research it seems like I shouldn't have any issues with fitment or rubbing.

Do you have any pics? You know everyone wants to see! I'm ordering today or tomorrow. I'm on factory wheels but my car is a couple inches low.

Thanks!

I put 305 30 19 and 265 40 18 on my 08 and it caused the TC to do funny things,went back to 295 35 19 and back to normal.No scrubbing though.

No pics changed them out as soon as I could get the 295's.I think it looked dorky because the rear 305 30's were shorter than the 265 40's.Hence the TC issue.

Your fronts should have been 265/35/18's. Why did you run a 40 series in the front?
