Default Need opinions on tires

I bought a set of 19X10, 19X12 wheels for my Z. I went with Toyo R888R tires 295/30/19,345/30/19. the fronts rub and stick out way to much for my liking. my options are a Toyo TR1 275/30/19 or 888R's in 265/30/19's. The new R's run about 5/8 bigger then a similar size tire. is the 265 up front on a 10" rim to small for the Z? thanks in advance

When I get new tires I’m going to try Kumho Ecsta PA51s. Asymmetrical Michelin pattern tread but less expensive

275/35R19 and 325/30R20. Oops I missed the 19" front and rear

I ran 265/35/19 on a 19x10 front wheel on my C7 GS. Was fine for the street.

Do they come in sizes for a C7Z? I checked but didn’t see them.
Thanks
