I plan on buying 17" rims for the 01 Z28, plan on Dunlop 245/40/17 tires.

when I buy the rims, should they be the 17X8 or 17X10?

Is there a particular reason for that tire size?
If not, then choose one of these sizes to stay with a stock height tire:
245/45-17 on 17x8 rims or 275/40-17 on 17x9 rims.

If your going to be running 275/40/17 I would put them on a 17x9 or 9.5, though they would work on 17x8's. On a 17x10 I would go with 315/35/17.
