Oversize tires for C7
My existing tires (Michelin Pilot Sport Run Flats) are pretty worn and noisy. I have a new set of ZR1 wheels, 19's and 20's (the existing are 18's and 19's) and I'm planning on going to Michelin Pilot Sport 4S non-run flats. I'm wondering if going to slightly larger tires (245/40/19's and 285/35/20's, they're about an inch taller than the existing tires) might look and ride better? And are there any possible problems with a slightly larger tire?
Thanks,
Dave

Sorry, I should have stated ZR1 "Style" wheels, the ones I bought are the same backset as the originals. I was just wondering if other owners had good experiences with slightly larger diameter tires, my tire guy said that he has put them on other client's cars with good results.
Thanks for your comments.
