Looking for pics of 275/40-17 wheels/tires I just wanted to get an idea of how these tires will look on the car, as I am not sure how the sidewall will look and how wide they are. Any pics would be appreciated, especially from the rear end. The wheels I am thinking of getting are 17x9.5. Thanks!!

I am thinking of getting some Z06 wheels in 17x9.5". Does this mean I can put 275/40-17 all around, or is that too wide for the front? On stock WS6 what is the tire width up front?

any more than a 275 in front gets a little uncomfortable for daily driving. The wide tires follow every groove in the road and youll find yourself constantly correcting yourself. But Yes, WS6s and SSs came stock with 275/40s on all four corners.
If you look at some of these threads youll find people running 315s up front

Here's a pic of what they look like from the factory on my car:
