Default Tire sizes.. Opioins

Hea I'm thinkin about getting some z06 wheels.. The wheels are 17x9.5 with a +54mm offset and 18x10.5dum with a +58mm offset.. Now I think I'm gonna need a spacer for the rear.. I'm thinkin 1/4 in.. My question is.. What tire sizes should I go with to prevent fender lip rolling.. I'm on stock ride hight.. Tia

275/40/17 (or 285/40/17) front and 295/35/18 rear will be about as close to stock heights as you can.

275 = 25.66 tall
285 = 25.98 tall
295 = 26.13 tall

Its not that hard:

275 (treadwidth in millimeters)
40 (sidewall height as % of treadwidth)
17 wheel size in inches

27.5/2.54 = 10.8268 * .4 = 4.33 (sidewall height)
4.33*2 +17 = 25.66

Backspacing is not my strong suite either.
