Tire sizes
Hey guy, just received my wheels and am wondering what size tires guys are running in the front for a 19” x 10” wheel? Also, if you’re running this size wheel up front do you have trouble with wheel wobble? Thanks in advance.
Forgot to mention it’s on a C6 Z06

This is the crux of the matter:
- Ron is running 295/35/19, which has an out dia of 27.1
- Stock C6 Z/GS rear is 325/30/19, for an out dia of 26.7 (evidently close to Ron's dia, but not on a 10" rim (it's wider))
- Base C6 is 285/35/19, for an out dia of 26.9 (splits the difference, most likely on a 10" rim)
- 285/30/19 was suggested, for an out dia of 25.7 (smaller dia)
This last two are the width recommended on a 10" rim. As you can see, the dia's are disparate!
As it turns out, the only size here not necessarily recommended is 285/30/19, on a 10" rim --> it's over an inch shorter compared to stock out dia

I was mistaken previously with the assumption - Ron is running in the rear of what looks to be a C6 Base, compared to what the OP is running up front in a C6Z.

zoom in on his picture he has 255/40/18 upfront and 295/35/19 for the rear
op, you want 285/30/19 for the front. I am about to replace my 255/35/19 front tires
for 285/30 because they look stretched on 9.5" rim
