I would say you would probably at the least need the width of the Z06 tires which is 265 in the front and 295 in the back.

Tire Rack has the specs on tire sizes so you can see what the outside diameters are for each size and compare.

Those are the sizes I had on my car when I ran 19/20 wheels in the same widths as yours.
