Default Race Star Wheels

I am looking for some recommendations for tire sizes on a 98-02 Z28 with full stock suspension. I am about to pull the trigger on some Race Star wheels, 15x10 in the rear and 17x4.5 or 17x7 in the front. What is the best tire size fitment from everyone's experience with these wheel sizes? Also, I am kind of hung up between choosing the black chrome 92 Darkstars and the gloss black 92 Bracket Racers. Does anyone have experience with these finishes, good or bad? The car is Onyx black. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your time in advance!

Jacoby

Don't know if this helps but these are RaceStar Drag Star 92 Polished on my 96 SS. They are 275/40 on 17x9.5 rears & 245/45 on 17x8 fronts with Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's all around. Everything bolted right up with absolutely no mods. I know its not the same setup as you're looking at but maybe it gives you an idea. Good luck

15 x 10 rim will NOT clear the caliper most likely. I had to grind the fins some on my caliper to clear
