Default Wheels&tires... :s

I'm new to all this and I'm looking at a set of black c6 z06 wheels, 17x9.5 front & 18x10.5 rear. I've read threads of tire sizes but i'd really like to know about my exact set, so what would be the best tire sizes for my set up? preferably whats the biggest i can go in the back and have no fitting issues? what brand tire would you recommend?

I say 275/40/17 up front and 295/35/18 out back. minimial fitment issues if any. Nittos nt555 or BFG KDW2 seems to be the popular tires.
