Default Tire Question! Need Help!

Finally i have received my income tax money and now i am ready to replace the Stock Goodyears. I have C6 Z06 reproduction wheels in stock sizes. I want to get Nitto Invos with the best offset and widest possible. My question is what is the best offset that will not sacrfice performance? Im the type of guy who likes to drive the Vette "fun" whenever it is safe and is not afraid to hammer it on a sunny day. Haha.

So is 305/30R19 rears, 255/35R18 fronts the recommended offset with Nitto Invos? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Default No offset

Not an expert here, but tires do not have offsets, wheels have offsets. Contact Tire Rack or Discount Tire and they will be able to tell you the largest tire combo that will go on your standard size wheels.

You can go up to 265/305 on stock wheels without any problems.
