Hi guys,

I will appreciate if someone would please let me know what is the widest tire size I can put in the rear for a C7 Z51? I have 19s in the rear instead of 20" wheels.

Thanks

You'd need to provide the width and offset of the back wheel, but assuming similar to stock, then you can realistically go up a couple sizes without much risk. I think 295 is maxed out on a 10" wheel if you wanna be "by the book", but a 305 will work. After that you're not gaining contact patch and just adding weight. Wider looks cooler though. All tires are different, kinda like clothes, so figment results vary.
