Way toooo tall - the OEM diameter is 26.86 inches - this one would be just under 29 inches tall - a full 2 inches taller...

It's not just about width guys...

I have the 265/305 Bridgestone RE11 combo on stock rims. I just came back from Mosport raceway. No fit issues, rubbing or any problems whatsoever. Great combo. Highly recommended.

im running 275/35-18 R888 tires on stock front rims with no issues and 335/30-18 R888 tires out back on widened (18X11) front rims in the back; only issue is that i can see a slight skim of tire on the inner fender, could be solved by removing a 3in strip of the inner fender but i see no point

You will need to bump up to a 19X11. Make sure your offset is+79

Mounted on a a 19/11 ACE wheel is supposed to clear the Base C6 rear fenders w/o sticking out...

315's will fit fine

However, that sidewall is to tall...
