Ken, I know I'm late to the thread here but FWIW I just replaced wheels / tires on my ZO6. Here's what went on ........

Wheels - FloOne F-4's, 18x9.5(front), 18x10.5(rear) I'm pretty sure the offsets are 50(front) and 54(rear)

Tires - Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 plus 265/35-18(front) and 295/35-18(rear)

keep in mind the '265' front size corresponds to stock width, whereas the reduction in aspect ratio to 35 maintains stock dia given that I've gone up to an 18" wheel. Going to '275' will increase width and possibly give a little 'poke'. Rears are the same as stock.

no poke .......

Sweet looking ride! Those Flo-One wheels look awesome on it. Good choice with the Continentals as well.

Beyootiful wheels, and you were smart with your tire choice. Love my DWS06’s as well, and you are right in there with the stagger numbers. Good job!
