I too like the look for the wheels but the tires are way too small on the rears.
I have a 10.5 on the rear of my C4 and I have 295/30s. On my old 19x11s I had 315/25s which both look nice.
Good luck with them, I am sure you will be much happier with the larger tires on the rear.

305's are the optimal tire for the 19 / 11.5 they should work for the 11's as well if you have adjustable suspension. A great tire width for track and street.

Build a ramp to get into the driveway, you need to lower the car.

Run 245/305 and it will look great
