Default need help with tire sizes

i have decided to get new c6 black rims to go on my black ws6. i want these

http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3/...6-Wheels-black

i also want to go with nitto 555 as everyone seems to have good reviews. the only question i have is what size tires should i be looking for. rears are going to be 19x10 and fronts 18x9.5. dont know if i will have spacing issues with 19s. just want to know what to expect before i buy them. Thanks in advance!

275/35/18 front. I dont recall seeing a wider 19" NT-555. i would recommed sticking with 18's. you will have better luck and it will be cheaper.

so your rear will sit 2" higher than the front. FYI. 1 inch for the 18" to 19" size and 1" for the tire height difference.

I have 17/18 combo 275:40:17 and 295:35:18. The combo fits the wheel wells nicely

You may want to go with the 17/18 set like the other poster said it will be easier and cheaper, also we dont guarantee fitment on the 19's on f bodies.

Yes you can fit 19's on a WS6. Some people have problems and have to use adapters while others fit with no problems (differing offsets or widths I imagine, im not an expert tho). But, when its done right it looks veeery good IMO. I know its not a TA, but there is an SS on here with 19's (Z06 Spyders) all around with a 1.6" drop that looks amazing.
