Talking Widest/best tires on a 19" rim?

Alright, I've got a set of C6? Corvette wheels on my 01 SS. 18x8.5s front and 19x10.5s rear. Idk what the offset is but they are straight pull offs. So whatever factory is. It's my daily driver and had 400rwhp goin in to the shop... Makin a few upgrades and we are estimating 450-475rwhp. My buddy just put some 315/35r17s on his 04GT and that's all he can talk about. "Oh but I have the widest tires." Me: "You also drive a girl car..." So I was wondering if I should keep these wheels which IMO look good(silver wheels on my puter/black top ss, or should I go down to some 17x11s or a wider wheel than that if possible to hold a wider tire. Please help me shut this dude up! LoL.

Thanks

Just tell him you're faster....

Otherwise your options are somewhat limited in 19s and keep the stock 4th gen diameter (25.6").

295/30-19 - 26.1" tall (10"-11" wheel....about 12" sect width)
305/30-19 - 26.3" tall (10.5" - 11.5" wheel....about 12.5" sect width)
