Default I messed up, need advice

I bought some new c6 Z06 wheels for my C5 and they are 17x9.5 and 18x10.5. I know my stock front tires are too small for the 9.5's and for some reason I ordered a set of kdw2's in 255/40-17. Now that im here thinking about it that sounds way too small since my old SS had 275/40's on 17x9's.
My question is what tire fits best on a 17x9.5 wheel considering they will only be used on the front. I dont want something oversized but also dont want the wheel lips being exposed because of a narrow tire.

Also I dont think the kdw2's go any wider than 255 for 17's so any other idea's on what brand tires to get.

275/40/17's are the best bit for that rim size. As for the brand i would go with Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's.
