I just did the same thing to my 2002 Z28. ZR1 Wheels, 17" x 9" fronts, 17" x 11" rears. Tires, : Front – Sumitomo P275/40ZR17, Rear - Sumitomo P315/35ZR17 It made a big difference in the way it looked! The tires came with the wheels. I will ride them until they are used up and go with another tread, but same size tire.

I think you should definitely do 17s in the front and 18s in the back. It have a mean stance. You won't regret it.

For the subby: Go 17/18's or 18's all around, then lower it eventually, it will look b/a.
