need some help

I can't hook up, need a good sticky tire for the stock 19x10.5 rear wheel. I was wondering what is a good tire and what is the biggest I can fit on the stock rim.

Mods are DP blower cam, D1SC 9psi, RPS twin carbon. Puttin down about 625rwhp

I have heard a lot of great things about the Toyo R888's.... someone posted pics of their base C6 with 305 / 19's.

Thanks guys, I will start looking at those. I will have to get some xtra rear wheels, I drive the car abot 3-4K miles a month. That's a big tire bill. Have to get some for the "special" nights out

Stock rim is 10" and I have the R888 295 on the back. I have 520rwhp. I hook decent in 2nd when tires are heated up. 1st is about 20% chance. I can't imagine 100 more rwhp.

Might be time for widebooty or run slicks
