My FIKSE's are those sizes.

Tires:

9.5" - 275/35YR18
10.5" - 295/35YR18

9.5" wheel, 38 mm offset, absolute minimum. Looks killer and fills the hweel well.

10.5" wheel, I'd say 44 mm offset. My FIKSE are 38 mm, and are just a touch too close to the wheel well lip.

Pics of the wheels and tires are in my Photo Album.

Just to caution you iForged does not have a very good reputaion. The only way that I would recomend buying their wheels would be from a VERY reputable vendor to act as the middle-man....Most vendors have stopped carrying their product. I had big problems with iForged, so did someone else on this site. Do a search here and over on corvetteforum and do some reading before you pull the trigger.

Tires are Kuhmo Ecsta MX. As for other brands search our sponsors, Discount Tire Direct and Tire Rack.

The stock size on a Z06 is a 265/40/17 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar (they run wide). You would probably be fine with a 265-275-285/40
