Does anyone have any experience here running 275's all around on square Z06 wheels? I found an excellent deal on a set but I'm not sure if it is enough tire. Should I wait and look for 295's?

My car is a stock 03 Z.

That is a standard setup for many time trialers and has been run many times.

The 295/30/18 Hoosier fits on a 10.5" pretty much perfect.

That being said, I have run the 275/18 Hoosiers back to back, on the same track/same day, and they are every bit as fast. To me, they actually "feel" a little bit better. The 275's are only about 10-12mm narrower.

They work really well on our cars and they fit nearly perfectly on an 18" C5Z wheel.

I agree with drivinhard. The 275 feels better than a 295 to me. Must be the extra sidewall.

Thanks for the advice. I forgot to mention the tire in question is a R888

These guys don't know what they are talking about.
What is the price and contact info for the seller?

With R888s you might feel a bit under-tired (I did on 305s), but get the setup and move on to something stickier once you adjust (they are certainly better than street tires.

What are your usage plans?

2-3 HPDE's and 4-5 auto crosses this year.

Pretty sure you will have to run without AH/TC on.

Would stock 18s on all corners fit over a big brake kit?

Depends on the brakes and which stock 18s you're talking about. I run 2001 Z06 Alcoas all around and they clear my Wilwood SL6Rs fine. I also have a set of C6 Grand Sport front wheels I got to test a smaller tire setup for the class we race in and those clear fine as well.
