umless you are changing wheel size ( larger diameter or width) I suggest you stay with stock tire sizes. That will give you the broadest selection of tires in terms of performance and price
You will find that the runlfats because of their square walls have a wider tread width than non run flats.
Many upgrade to Z06 width wheels ( +1 inch fronm and back) and go to Z06 sized tires.

You could increase the front size to a 255-40x17 safely on an 8.5" wide wheel, but the back is about as wide as you can go on a 9.5" wide.
As suggested, if you are considering Z06 sized tires, you need the wheels that are 9.5" wide in front and 10.5" wide in back.
