Default What Size Tire on Zr1

I just got a set of chrome Zr1s for my 1998 z. They are 17x9.5. i know the SS came with these and the tire size was 275/40zr/17. My buddy has a 10.5inch wide rim on his car and only runs a 265 tire. Should i run the stock tire size for a SS or no because they are replica Zr1s

Thanks
Chris

275/40ZR17 is the PERFECT tire for a 9" to 9.5" wheel. A 10.5" wheel should be running at least a 295 . . . .
