Wider C6 wheels & tires
Have an '07 C6 that I just supercharged. Rear wheel HP now dynos up in the 600 HP range - and stock C6 tires (285/35/19) don't get the job done. All I can do is light the tires from a halt or at speed.
Have already installed the wider flared Z06 rear fenders.
Need larger (wider) tires on rear. How wide can I go?
Don't know if leaving fronts as is will affect handling. If so, then I need to consider front wheels & tires as well. I'm a road racing enthusiast, so I don't want to ruin my handling. ????
Current wheels are stock competition gray Corvette wheels. Like 'em & would really like to keep that color scheme as it pops with the car.
All help appreciated.

Any chance you are going to sell your wheels? I had the twin spoke competition gray wheels on mine originally. Is that what your's are?

You may be able to go 13" wide but I'm not 100%. I've seen a few post on here about wheel and tire widths'. Actually there's a tire/rim calculator up on the menu.
