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.

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.

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.
