You can go the Z06 rim size (17X9.5 and 18X10.5) with the stock runflats, but they may look a little flattened out. Not sure I would like the look. If you plan on staying with the stock tires, I'd probably stay with the stock size wheels.
However, you can go with the new C6 size rims (18 front, 19 back) and use the Goodyear runflats. From what I understand, they are much better than the old runflats from Goodyear.
