Tire size for 19x11.5 wheel.

What's the largest size that I can run? I'm currently running a 315/25/19 tire that's about 1" shorter in diameter than the factory size. The optimal size would be 305/30/19 which would put me at 26.2" total diameter (ideal). Are there any other tire manufacturer's out there that have a tire that would be more ideal for my application and wouldn't look ghetto nor rub? Thanks in advance.

A 315 on a 11.5'' will stick out whether 25, or 30 aspect ratio!

A 305 on a 11'' would have been a better choice!

I'm not concerned about the tire sticking out, I'm concerned w/ the overall diameter. The 305 will be 0.3" less in total track width vs the 315. Can I fit a 325/25/19 on the 11.5 wheel?

I may be wrong but what I've heard is that if you go over 315's you'll have to install mini-tubs. Plus be careful on your wheel offsets. Could also effect the rear brake cooling tube on Z06's (rubbing).
Good luck on your tire search. I'm sure you'll find the perfect ones for your car.
