Default tires for c5 z06's??

so i have a set of c5 z06's that need new tires on the rear
they currently have 295/35/18 bfg g force tires on them
how wide can i go on this wheel?
ive heard a ton of good things about the nitto nto5r and wanna give them a try but they dont make them in 295's
can i go with a 305? or a 315?
thanks guys!

you can go to a 315 is you have a 10.5 wheel I wouldnt reccoment switching from the BFG tho.. i have the 295/35/18 bfg KDW2's on my T/A and they grip better than my buddies 315/35/17 nitto 555's

I've run a 305/35/18 Toyo R888. Those are great tires.

well im looking at prices too.
dont have a whole lot of money to spend but i wanna get a good set that i can play with at the track, but also handles well on wet roads.
the bfg's that are on it, even tho theyre pretty much bald, still handle well in the rain
im just trying to find the best performance tire for the money.
i just found some of the bfg's for 240ea
any suggestions on where to buy tires???
