Default Widest race tires on 9.5 and 10.5 CCWs?

Can someone give me some racing advice? What would be the widest race tires you could safely run on CCW Classics in stock C5 Z06 widths and offsets? They are 9.5 fronts and 10.5 rears, but the actual width of the rims is about 10.5 front and 11.5 rear.

Wondering if I could safely run 295 on front and 335 on rear, or if I need to be more conservative and stay with 275 front, 315 rear max. Dont want to take any chances on the track, but dont want to leave any "footprint" on the table either.

Thanks in advance for any advice

this tire combination has been a proven excellent combination for many years. Absolutely perfect for the C5!
