Sorry I got the stock size wrong. I guess that's for a standard C6. But the point was to give you the link to that site. Glad it worked out for you.

the tires have to be 1/2" taller or more before they cause an issue.

you can't successfully compare tire heights on one tire that is loaded and one not...

in that case, math is the only fair way to do it.
