Default another c6 wheel question

so I havent found a thread about this yet and I asked in another thread with no luck

the car:
2001 ws6
stock suspension (for now, may change later if the car looks 4x4)

the wheels:
c6 split spokes

the question:
I want a 315 tire on the back (not sure of a height yet)
I know you guys are going to say its too big for the car but has anyone put 315's on a 19x10 wheel on a ws6? if so I would like to know tire size and how big the spacers are (pics would be a +)

I know that other c6's (same size) wheels have been done on ws6's but with smaller tires (and spacers) so I just want to know what size tire and what size spacer.....the front wheels will be easy so I am not worried about that

thanks for any help on the topic

Im running 285/35-19 on mine. 1.25" spacers and lowered. Only clearance issues I had are the fender lips. Rolled em and that fixed it. 295 would fit no problem im sure and maybe 305 but 315 idk. Might have to spacer and bfh it for it to work....
