and just for the heck of it, here's a 375 pirelli, which apparently runs at about a 355 width:

I've never seen or heard of a 345 fitting a V1.

Well I think I have finally found a solution to my wheel and tire issues.

Going to go ahead and convert to five lug with corvette hubs, camaro ss front rotors and redrilled CTS-V1 rear rotors to 5 lug.

As for wheels I'll be going with 19x9 +50 with a 5 or 10mm Spacer and 19x10.5 +65 with a 10mm spacer.

Tires will be 255/35R19 and 295/30R19

****.
That's some fat rubber. I don't need that much but I want enough in the back to stop driving like an ******* in a Subaru in the snow every time I pull the thing out.

Just a heads up if that is in your future!
For sure, if you put the 2.5" coilovers in the traditional mounting location, narrow that trailing arm so it's width stays inside of the wheel, run CS tailing arms(which don't help much past 10" rims), lean the shocks in 2 degrees or so, and massage the inside of the front of the part of the frame.....you can fit a 12-13" wheel.....

What are you running in the rear, setup and modification wise.

Wheel size and offset?
trailing arms?
Car modfications? Rolling fender, notching control arm....???

19x9.5 +33mm with a 3mm spacer running a 245/35R19. you're going to have to go with a shorter tire than stock for sure and you're not going to be able to be low unless you really pull the crap out of your fenders or run some crazy alignment.

i ran a 20x10.5 in the rear without any issues and with an aggressive an offset as I can get with a 285/25 tire and I think you could push it another .5.

I ended up running a 19x10.5 +65 with a 10mm spacer for a corrected offset of +55. No rubbing what so ever with a 295/30R19 and creative steel trailing arms.
