I doubt that a 335/30-19 or 335/35-19 tire would fit on a 10" wide rim but you'd have to check on that. I run a 305/35-18 on my stock 10.5" wide rims and I think that's about the widest you would want to go although I think some run 315's on their 10.5" wide rim too for what it's worth. A 335 is a bit wider than a 315 plus you're on a 10" vs a 10.5" rim.
Just did a quick search and it looks like you'd be good with 295's.

No 335 will fit on a 10" rim without having a crap load of side wall to stretch. I would say that's unsafe as well. If you had a 16x10 wheel, that may be a different story.
The widest you can go on a 19x10" is 305 on some tires and 295 on others. You don't get a lot of side wall on a 19" wheel, so you're pretty screwed if you want wider tires.
A 19" 335 would need an 11.5" wide wheel.

I am actually in the same boat as you and have been reading up about this. For a 10" rim a 285 will give you the best fitment. You can stretch it to a 295 or a 305 but you will be diminishing the purpose of the wide tire because it will begin to bubble up and wear out the tire unevenly (as I understand it). Now way in hell will a 335 fit, biggest a 10.5" rim can go safely is 315 I believe. Read up on the sticky in the wheel section for more info. Im debating it myself weather I want a 19x10 or a 18x10.5 and get a wider tire.

C6ZO6 Motorsports, 19x11x65mm offset, Nitto 325/30/19. Fit perfect with no rubbing on the inside and do not stick out at all. I'll try to get a pic later.

I ran 315x30x18 PS2's on 11.5 inch CCW Big Street Classics. They were flush with the fender and they would rub every now and then on the inner fender. I just noticed it when I had the tires off. I'm running 345x30x19 on 13 inch CCW 500's now. They are flush with the L5 flares and pretty tight to the inner fender.

spacer on rear rims 
I like the way your ZO6 is, it looks bicthin!!!!!!!!!!!
I have 2004 ZO6 and I bought Toyo R-1's 335/30 18's for the rear.
I am looking at 18 X 12 ZO6 aftermarket rims to mount these Toyos on.
You said you added a spacer to the rear of your rims!!! Is it a 1/2" 3/4"
or a 1". I would really appreciate any info you could assist me with.
You also mentioned that you have 315's on the front!!! 315/??? & what
size rim??? You have no clearance or turning problems with the 315's in the frontYour Z must really stick good to the corners for sure.
Years ago I had a 1969 427 (500+ H.P.) with Ansen Sprints 15 X 12's
all the way around ( I had to flare the fenders with L-88 fender flares but
even back then that car really hugged the corners.
I am new to this site and this is my 8th vette (ZO6) Love this body style even more than the C-6.
Well hope that you may find time to reply to the above!!!
Thanks

335/30 and 345/30 don't give the correct overall diameter And look like balloons IMO.
355/25 on a 19X13. Leaves you with the stock overall diameter and a more proportional look.
