If you are going to lower it too, you could end up with clearance issues as well on your diameter size once lowered

my .02

P.S. this site is great! https://tiresize.com/calculator/
I tracked this entire year on a super lowered car (have raised it since just for performance reasons) with a 305/30/19 on a 10.5. Never really had an issue with feel or the bead (looked sweet too). Might just be preference though

I'm sure preference is a part of it. Another (BIG) part is 18 vs 19 rims when it comes to those sizes and performance

Now THAT's good info! and rather impressive! that said, longer wheelbase of a C6 I can see how he can get away with it. That of course if my physics brain module is still working right with the silver rum and sweet tea I'm enjoying lol
