Default Which 19" tire do you run up front on C5

I just had a set of 255*40*19's put on my slammed 00 and they rub a little. Not willing to lift my car back up so the options need to be established. I am thinking 255*35 or 275*30

I assume that you are talking about the fronts. It is important to try and stay within the factory overall diameter ,or as close as possible. Your choice of tire side wall seem's to be the problem.
I would suggest that you go to a 30 side wall.

I am running the 275/30 on my car with cut bushings and have yet to rub any at all

with everyone running 275/30's what rim is that. My Crays are 19X9 want to make sure they fit properly. The rears are 20X10.5 with 305/25's.
