Default I decided on some chrome ZO6 wheels but what size?

After about 3 years I am going to get some ZO6 chrome wheels. But what size would be best 17's or 18's?

18x9.5 in the front with 18x10.5 in the rear with a 53mm offset. 275/35s up front and 295/35 or 315/30 out back

18's definately. 10.5s in the rear, but be ready to "modify" some things if you are lowering the car, or it will rub. It took me a whole day of adjusting and hammering, and rolling the lips to get it to fit right. But in the end it is very much worth it.

I too am debating on getting chrome z06's. Although I'm considering the 18/17 combo. Main reason being I have a full set of new 17"tires already. That would make for 2 sets of front tires on the Z06 wheels.

It is not my car but it looks to be the case. I would personally go with 18s all around.
