Default wheels and tires

I just got my 99frc vette today... and I am planning on buying the blk zo6 motorsports wheels in the stock 17x9 and 18x10.5 sizes... does anyone here speak the tire language for these sizes? I am looking for tire suggestions as well, I have had the bfg drags before and they had a great hookup.

Thanks
John

I would get 275-40-17's for the front. 315-30-18 for rear's. I have on mine the same fronts and 335-30-18's in the rear. Im probably going to sell them if you interested they are chrome thou.

Stock Z06 size firestone wide ovals here: 265/40/17 for front, 295/35/18 for the rears. In my opinion these are the best bang for the buck tire available. The also have a lip protector to help prevent curb rash. Wheels are from tomz wheels. This whole setup was cheaper than putting on new runflats.
