Default Stupid questions about replacing stock wheels

Hey all,
I know these are some newb question but I am not getting much luck with the search engine so here goes...

I am replacing my stock non-chrome SS wheels later this week with a set of Z06 wheels and I was wondering what size wheels do I need to keep using my stock tires (275/40/ZR17)?? I know I obviously need 17" wheels but I was curious about the width.

Also, on a side note, will reproduction Z06 wheels make my car noticably slower?? Of course they are heavier so there will be some difference but I wasn't sure if it would be enough to tell unless I was at the track or something.

Thanks!

Tommy

either a 17x9 or 17x9.5

The aftermarket wheels will be heavier but not enough to notice a huge difference

I think you can only get the Z06s in 17x9.5 never seen them in 17x9. The stock wheels aren't light either, so you shouldn't be able to feel any difference in them.
