I have searched and haven't found a good picture but I'm curious what would work better a:
325/30/19 (stock Z06 tire I believe)
or a
315/25/19
For some reason that 25% sidewall rating just seems small to me. My question is though, would the bigger sidewall really look goofy? They're going on a 11" wheel btw.
Factor this into your vote/answer as well. When looking on ebay, you can find a used set of 325/30's for ~$250-$300. Where as with the 315/25's, I haven't found a used set yet, and the new sets are ~$650+++...

honestly im running nitto 275/30/19 on my 9.5" rims and they look small. i would believe 25 would look like rubber bands. u would pretty much be riding on the rim.
19" tires are gonna be very expensive. i had a hard time finding tires for a cheap price. i agree with 99bluz28, u might wanna look into a 315/30/19 tire.

There are some decent 295 and 305/30-19 Michelin PS2s (OEM Porsche rears) on ebay for $80-$200 ($550 NEW). Arguably one of the best (and lightest) true street tires. These are 11.5" and 11.7" on a 10" rim, so they should be a good 12" wide on a 11" rim, plenty wide but still a good/do-able fit in the Firebird's rear wheelwells.
I have put 325s on a 11" rim, and they will NOT be 13" wide. Even though, they barely fit under a C5 Z06, so I would imagine they will be a chore to fit under a F-body.
305 and 315 are good for a 11" rim, but that 315/25 will ride rough. I highly recommend getting close to 26" tall for a 19" tire (front and rear).
