These are the OEM Z06s I had for awhile.
17x9 w/ 265s
18x10.5 w/ 295s
BFH mod + 3/16" spacers
Only lowered ~1" in the back and still rubbed on hard turns
If you are going with a reproduction Z06 wheel, the 10.5" rears should be fine..just make sure you get the right offset.

17x9.5 up front, not sure of the exact tire size though, they have been off the car for a long time, and 18x10 in the rear. I do remember running a smaller tire size than a 295 though. They were Kuhmo 712's.

Did you have to do the BFH or rolling fender lip mods? I'm considering 18x10.5 all around and was told 56mm will need either fender roll or BFH. I'm not planning on lowering my car, and want to use 275/35/ZR18 tires.

FenixSS - I just barely had to do the BFH mod. Takes no more then 2mins if that. I'm only running the 10.5's in the back with a 58mm offset. I've only heard of one person running 10.5's up in the front and he had to do some work for it to not rub on turns.
When I had my TT2's they were 17x9.5 with a 285/40/17 tire and I was rubbing up front on turns with the stock ride height. After I dropped the car the rubbing stopped.

When going with bigger wheels/tires, do you guys have issues with your brakes? What do you suggest for upgrades? What's the biggest brakes that will clear the Black Z06 wheels?
