Default Tire size for z06 wheels?

I have a 2000 ta and just bought 18 by 9.5 Z06 motorsports wheels. I was wondering what the best size tire would be to get a good look. I plan to lower it shortly after. Thanks for the help.

285-35-18 thats my guess I guess you might be able to put even wider on the back ones but depends on if you want to rotate them and not have to worry about different sized tires

275/35's or 285/35's if you want a little more meat. I'm running GS-D3's with 275's in front and 285's in rear. Kinda wish I'd went 285's all the way around.

275/35ZR18 is the same overall diameter as stock, so no speedo worries.
