Tires needed for 21" wheels

I have a 2015 Green Flash Edition with 21" wheels and stock ride heigth. I'm looking at purchasing 285/35/21 fronts and 315/30/21 rears. Does anyone else run this combo and do they have any issues with steering, fitment, or rubbing? I know these are in the specs for the car's computer. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Here 's what I got for my Green Flash. Achilles ATR Sport 2 tires from www.tires-easy.com
295/35R21 for the back $105 each
255/30R21 for the front $89 each

Free shipping also.
I love them.
I always hated those damn Pirelli's.......very over-rated tires.

Thanks for the welcome and the info y'all! I'll take a look. I daily commute this ride and don't wanna spend a lot.

I am going through this right now. Did the difference in tire height cause any issues?

The only issue is that the front end is lower due to the reduced sidewall height so it’s much easier to beat up the Jay Leno front spoiler. Otherwise, fine.

I dunno, might be too wide for the wheel.

I just made my mind up and ordered 245/40ZRR21 Front & 265/40ZR21 Rear.
Reason was I wanted to match the OEM 20” that were on my 2015 RS Camaro.
I hope and think I got it right.
