Default Wheel/tire help?

Looking to do a set of 18" C6 Zo6 wheels on my 98' TA 9.5"F/10.5"R the ones i see from OE wheels are 56mm offset are they the right offset i need? Tires i would like to go 305's or 315's out back just dont want to get to thin on the side wall like to stay around 26" and front what are the common tires used around 26" to match the rear height 275/35's?
The car will be lowered 1.25" if that matters i know the rear may need the BFH on the fenderwells but anything else?

You should be fine with that offset.
Fronts should be 275/35/18
Rears would probably be best with a 315/30/18
Going with a 315 there is always a chance you might have to roll the quarter panels as well.

Heres another question besides looks any big gains going 18's vs 17's or doing say splits 17/18 or 18/19's? Are there DR's for 19's? I know the bigger they get the more they cost!

does lowering the car help with performance if you go from stock size wheels (16") up to 18"s?

Geting ready to order some Z06's still undecided on whether to get 17's or 18's or 17/18's based on what i read its more for looks but i think tire cost is a bit more for 18's!

I would do 18's all around, looks much better then 17's and imo the 17/18 combo doesn't look good either!
