I'm looking in to getting the C6 ZO6 wheels for my 99 Camaro but I'm running into the problem of what tires to use. As of now, the wheels I want to get are 17x9.5 (front) and 18x10.5 (rear). They are recommending 265/40-17s for the front and 295/35-18 for the rear. Im having a hard time finding good tires at those sizes. And would i run into any gap issues up front since it's a smaller tire than the stock set-up? I dont want it to look funny.
What are your suggestions? I would really appreciate the help. Thank you!

who r "they", because "they" r wrong on the front size... no reason not to use the standard 275/40x17 on the front... rear size is correct... but aren't the C6Z wheels 18x9.5F and 19x12R??

"They" would be the website from which i found the wheels. But if that same tires as stock would work up front, then that should be fine.
And a lot of the C6 ZO6 wheels are 18x9.5 up front, but i couldnt find anything wider then a 10.5. I might have been looking on wheels up to 18" though, not quite sure
