Default Tire sizes

What is the largest combination of 19' (front) 20' (rear) tires I can run on a C5 without having to do a mini tub, flared fenders or having clearance issues?

Not sure, I forgot to ask. That info is sorta important isn't it?
He bought a tire/rim package for his C6 project he was going to start, but has since gotten rid of the car and the rims, but kept the tires.

If I see him tomorrow I'll make sure to get more details.

I am not sure about front, but I have 19x11's on the rear running 325's and it is (in my opinion) the perfect combination with no rubbing and the tires/wheel just peak out of the wheel wells, but don't throw rocks at the paint



(YES, I KNOW they are dirty...)
