It was Corvette World off Mopac. They had a ton of tires and told me I could take as many as I want.

I picked up these 4

325/30/19
295/35/19
295/35/18
285/35/18

I also still had the Falken 275/35/18 and 315/30/18. Here's a pic of all of them so people can see the differences.

The 325/30/19 fills out the wheel well much better. It's tight but not unreasonable. I have over 1/2" on the inside and can compress the suspension all the way and it barely touches. When not compressed I could push the tire out another ~1/2" and still have plenty of clearance with the reduced lip. I may try to clearance the inner fender a little more, still deciding. Think I may be able to gain 1/8-1/4"

Pretty sure I'll be going 325/30/19 rear and 285/35/18 front.
