Arrow Wheel fitment question, C5 Z06

So I am picking up an 01 C5Z on Monday that has the stockers on it now and I want to replace with a set of black 06 Z06 spyder reps. The only problem is they come in 17x8.5 and 18x9.5. Am I going to notice any changes in handling or negative effects from going to a more narrow rear wheel?

I would use the same tire size, 295/35/18 on rears as I have new tires already and don't want to spend the $ to go up to 19s. Should I look for an 18x10.5 wheel or will these work? It seems hard to find anything that looks as nice with the correct width and offset for the Z.

Thanks!

Default

I'd stick with 10.5" if possible. If you're going to run 9.5 I'd go with 275/285.
