Default C6 Z06 rims on formula WS6?

I am saving to put C6 Z06 wheels on my car and i am woundering which sizes will give me the best ride. My choices are 17x9.5 on the front and 18x10.5 onn the back or 18x10.5 all around or 18x10.5 on the front and 19x12 on the back. Please let me know and also what you think it would look like on the car with the stock brake set up because if it looks bad i migth have to upgrade to the Z06 set up.

i'd do the 18s all the way around...19s IMHO are too big for our cars...18s are JUST RIGHT!

btw formula WS.6's are SAAAHHHHWEEEEEETT!

I'd go with 17x9.5's up front with the 18x10.5's out back. 18x10.5's up front have got to look terrible IMO thats too wide for a front rim.

You asked which would give you the best ride. The smaller diameter wheels will give you the better ride seeing as you will have more tire sidewall to absorb the impacts from the road.

I personally would not go larger than 18" on our cars.

i agree i have the new zo6 rims in chrome and they are 18" and have enough rubber so that i can burn and not have to worry about one of my tires being flat within a few weeks

As for ride quality, I've been really impressed with my 18's. Yes... it is worse than the stock 16's... but it isn't bad at all.
