Those mt tears will rub if you are lowered. I also bought them and hated them. Good luck.

What's the OD of the MTs?

315/30 should work with out causing any TC issues depending on the OD of the MTs you have

I put 19 x 12 C7 Z06 black repros on the back with a Nitto NT05R drag radial 345-30-19 and on the front 18 x 10 C7 Z06 black repros with Nitto 555 Extreme 275-35-18. My car is not lowered. Love the ride quality. The wheel sizes are stock C6 Z06/C6 Grand Sport and were purchased from Bob at House of Wheels a long time Corvette Forum vendor.
