Go to any online tire vendor... take your pick. They nearly all have a table of recommended tire sizes for differing wheel sizes. I used to have one copied I'd post at threads like this, but I've seemed to have lost it. Sorry.

Not safely. As I recall, your 2016 Z51 should have 19"x8.5" front rims. According to Michelin, the minimum rim width for a 285/30ZR19 tire is 9.5".

The widest tire Michelin recommends for your 19"x8.5" rims is 255/30ZR19.
