Hell, Lingenfilter fits 10.5" rims with 285's in the front of non z06 corvettes with no rubbing, that fit the fender flush! Those should fit the Z06 with no problem, just make sure your back spacing is correct!

19x10 here stock fenders and will do 285's next time to get the right look. if you go 11 inch wide in front u will want a bigger tire.

You need to run a 13" rear for a 345mm tire to stay within a 95-98% section width to wheel ratio. 13.5" if you want to run the Pirelli 355/25/19 Pzero's. There is pleanty of room for them.

Agree. I am running 19x13s in the back now with 345/30/19 PS2s. They fit flush with the Z06 flared fender, but really fill things out back there. My last wheels were 19x11s with 305/30/19s. I'll post some pics this weekend.

As far as the fronts go, I am running 19x10s with 275/30/19s. Fit well on Z06 fender flares.
