Z06 wheels
What are the advantages for me to replace my stock oem wheels for Z06 wheels. Specs say they are wider, so maybe I could put bigger tires on?
Or can I put the bigger tires on my stock rims without issues? Is there a weight diff? Thank you!

Z wheels are lighter (quite light) and wider.
Base = 17 x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5, tires 245/45/17 and 275/40/18
Z06 = 17 x 9.5 and 18 x 10.5, tires 265/40/17 and 295/35/18
Biggest drawback are tires are not super plentiful. Just added recently though are Toyo Proxes 1. Others are Michelin, Goodyear F1 Supercars, Bridgestone RE70... I think that's it in exact factory Z sizes.
Many opt to put the 18's up front also, running for example 265/35/18's with 295 or 305/35/18's out back.
