Default C7 z51 wheel 255/40/19 front tire?

Does anyone one know if a 255/40/19 tire will fit and won't rub 19x8.5 z51 front wheels planning on 295/35/20 rear tire.

Almost definitely for both. I run 285/35/20 rears and they rubbed on any bumps on bolts fun down, rubbed at hard turns on bolts half way. Only stopped rubbing all together when i raised the rear all the way to the top of the bolts.

Front will probably be worse. You need to do 255/35 and 295/30.
