Considering 19/20"

I'm considering the purchase of 19"x10 and 20"x11 for my c-6. Any recommendations as to manf. and size? I want to keep the same overall O.D. as stock. Any help would be appreciated!

You can do it, but the tire profile to give the same OD will leave you with sidewalls about the thickness of rubber bands. Ride will be rough, and beware of potholes.

If you care anything about ride and performance, you'd go the other way and fit 18 inchers with higher profile tires. I'd suggest going to 17s except that the Z51 brakes won't clear.
