Default C6 Z06 rims 17x9.5"

I found them at a great price... $452! I need tires but I need some meat to put on the ground. I was hoping to run 305s on the 9.5" but I am not sure if that's a good idea. Anyone have experience with that size tire on that size rim?

I would like 17x10s but I can't find them.

I have 295s on my 18x9.5 which is close to a 305. They fit really well with slight bulging and look really good too.

Yea... I figured as much. That little bulge is a little scary when taking hard turns, no?

Doesn't mess with my car at all and not scary at all since I spent a little extra on Nitto Invo tires on all 4 corners. It handles really well.

305s on 17x9.5 width wheels, answer is no. 275/40/17, 285/40/17 or 295/35/17 would fit that wheel. Anything bigger it will bulge.
