Default Tire question

I am now one of the many that is going to put the new C6 wheels on a C5. I bought 18X8.5 and 19X10.

my question is what are the best sizes for this set up? I would like a wide look on the rears but I dont want them to rub.

What is the biggest I can go with the rears without running into any problems?

Thank you.
David

You are limited by the 10" rim on how wide you could go. A 295/35/19 would be about the biggest for the rim. There aren't many of them, you get more choices in the C6 stock size of 285/35/19. Both those sizes are a little bigger around than your OE tire, but still with in the recommended 3% error limit.
