I'm installing new GY F1's in the 275/40/17 size tomorrow. They will fit/work nicely on the Z. They are slightly taller by .2 inches though.
Good luck

Is it OK to have 275/40/17 on front and 315/30/18 on rear, would there be a problem>>> being the stock ones are 265/40/17 and rear 295/35/18>>> I'm looking at the 40 on front and 35 on rear, if I go the way I want to I would have a 40 on front and a 30 on rear wouls that be OK??? hope this makes since???

I think up to 335's will fit on the stock 10.5 rim. Im sure some/most wouldnt advise it since the tire will bow out. When i replace the rear tires i think ill go with a 315/35/18

No rubbing in the back. The tires fit fine on the stock 10.5" wide rims but I wouldn't put wider tires on those rims.

315/35-18 is a common size autocrossers use for their stock class Z06s (stock rim widths). 275/40-17 and 295/40-17 are the popular sizes used by Z06 autocrossers for their stock front rim widths.
I have put 335/30-18s on the stock rear rims. They fit, and I didn't have rubbing issues, but it is too wide a tire for optimum handling.

I like the C6 wheels, and looking for a change.

I haven't really got much feel out of them. The car just got out of a 6-month hibernation. They are kinda slippery for now because they are still not properly scuffed yet.
Thanks for the comments, guys
