Default Need your advice on wheels

Here are my options..

Keep my rear 18x10.5 Z06's, sell the front 17's and buy new 18's to get rid of the staggered look

OR

Sell the Z06's, and keep my stock ZR1's. Buy two new 17x11's with 315's for the rear (keep a pair of 9.5's on the front), and throw some DR's on the one's I'm not using for track days

What do you think? I'll be lowered on Koni DA's and Hotchkis springs soon.

18" Z06 all day...since you already have 18 X 10.5, that almost 11"...why go to a smaller diameter wheel?

I was just thinking there are more tire options for 17's than 18's
