With the rear I do. This is with a passenger and hitting hard bumps.
I also run Z06-style rims that are 19x12.

I have 325-30-19 in the rear of my base 2008 Corvette Coupe. It has the newer style Grand Sport 5 spoke wheels on it, pretty sure the rear are 19x12. Yeah they stick out a little, but I don't have any issue.
It has a tune, cam, long tubes and with a 6spd, the extra tire width certainly helps. No codes for anything and traction and stability controls as they are working just fine. Fronts are 275 width. Probably the widest tire I have seen on any C6 Vette, or any for that matter. Everyone stops at 305 or 315 which works just fine, but I am not complaining. Most probably like tucking them underneath, but like steam rollers out back. There are Goodyear F1 tires as well.
