I just did the same thing to my 2002 Z28. ZR1 Wheels, 17" x 9" fronts, 17" x 11" rears. Tires, : Front – Sumitomo P275/40ZR17, Rear - Sumitomo P315/35ZR17 It made a big difference in the way it looked! The tires came with the wheels. I will ride them until they are used up and go with another tread, but same size tire.

I think you should definitely do 17s in the front and 18s in the back. It have a mean stance. You won't regret it.

How does the car feel when driving? Heavier? I'm thinking about going to a larger tire, but I'm curious to know if it makes the car feel like a boat and accelerate noticeably slower due to the increased rotating mass.

Hahah, I run 19's on all corners and it nothing to noticeable unless your hardcore dragging or autox' ing. If you go bigger just make sure you get really good tires and you'll be fine.

For the subby: Go 17/18's or 18's all around, then lower it eventually, it will look b/a.

Im not a big fan of 17/18. I think it looks better with one size all the way around
