I know I could go to the full size Z06 tires, but I think they would look too big, and stick out further. I think the rear Z06 is a 325, but I would probably go to like a 305 or something...
So anyways, what would the complete size be for the front/rear if I were to go a bit bigger, but not all the way.
The reason is, Over the weekend, I nailed a pothole and it ended up bending one of my wheels. I ordered a new wheel, but I'm wondering if because my factory tires have been stretched if that only helped make the incident more likely to occur or not.
Also, if I end up going to the dealer to swap the new wheel out and they tell me the tire is beyond its use, I might consider bumping up rather than replacing it with a factory size.

Well, you could try to wrench on the C6 Z06's Goodyear F1 Supercar EMT's in 275/35/18 and 325/30/19... as seen in Vette Magazine's "The Rocket Gets Blinged" - See http://www.vetteweb.com/tech/vemp_06...te_z06_wheels/
They use the Ace Slick 18x9.5 and 19x11 wheels though. No word on how far outboard the 325's will end up...

they stick out. that was why i wanted something in between in the first place,
whatever you do, don't run the Z06 size tires you have already seen the pictures of how far they stick out. You pretty much will not have a run flatt option in the size you want. So stick with what you have or ditch the runflats and get a quieter, better handling non-ron flat like a pilot sport in the sizes you want. Good luck.
Ps, I dont think the Tire size had anything to do with the wheel being damaged, you hit a big as pothole or curb going fast and you are going break any wheel.

What size tires would fit 18x10 & 19x11?
