Pls advice me before i buy. I searched and didn't get the answer that i was looking for:
I have C6 chrome wheels for my 95 Z28. I had these rims ordered for my camaro so they're NOT OEM. I was running 275 30 19 and now i'm wondering if i can get away with 305 30 19?
Have you or anyone you know ran/run this set up before?
Thanks.

Yeah, I have 305s on 19x10s and even lost some width with this "slightly less than optimal wheel width". A 305/30-19 is supposed to be 12"-12.3" (on, I believe, an 11"), but on my 19x10s they are now only 11.7" wide.
You would be running an unnecessarily heavy tire without getting the entire benefit of the wider tread.
A 285 is a possible option, but even a 295 would be excessive on a 9.5".
