check out tire rack for prices. Usually the best.
A 345/30/19 super sport appears to be cheaper than a 325/30/19 super sport. I'd go with that.
A 325/30/19 nitto invo is reasonably affordable as well, but sucks in comparison to the super sport.

nothing that i can find keeps the recommended stagger... that said i would love to go 19/20 zr1 rims. the thing is i have a base c6 that i want to do a rear wide body on and find wheels and tires that will work. I would love to go to 345 tires in the rear which would be wide as hell and awesome!!!! but having a tough time finding what i need.
keeping with factory style wheels
wide tires/rims that will still fit under front panels
not to crazy on price

No 325 or 345 is going to be cheap, lol.
I run LG wheels with a rear widebody and stock front fenders and have a 345/30/19 in back right now and a 265/35/18 in front. Will be switching to a 275/35/18 once the fronts wear down a bit.
Fits no problem. If you're going widebody in the rear do it right and run 345s

A lot depends on whether you want run flats or not. I'm running the Bridgestone Re050A run flats in the stock Z06's sizes and purchased them much cheaper than the OE Goodyears or the Michelins.
My local dealer gave me a better deal than the mail order companies after you factor in mounting, balancing, shipping, sales tax, etc.

I was lucky I purchased my set used on the forum for a steal and got 20k on the tires included. I now run General Exclaims for daily and when I go to the track next time will be the ET Sreets on 17 I purchased off the forum.

Nice....it's too bad they quit making the General's in a 325. That was a very inexpensive tire option.

These are very good daily driver tires, stiffer sidewalls than Nitto Invos and traction is similar, not a sticky tire but great in the rain and I am not sure what I will get when these wear out.

Purchased them in April 2011 for $1567 out the door from a local Bridgestone tire dealer. Tire rack had them(April 2011) for a little over $1600 plus ~$75 shipping and I would still have to pay somewhere around $100-$120 to get them mounted and balanced at a local tire dealer.
Buying them from one dealer including mount and balance and if there is any question of who's responsible if there is a problem, is not a problem.
Of course, they would be more expensive today, vs 2011, but they would be more expensive for both avenues of purchase.
