Default Recommendations on tires for Z06 sizes

OK here's my question..I'm going with new motorsport rims in Z06 sizes and I need new tires to go with them! These are the tires I'm considering. Any opinions on these or any other tires and are my sizes OK? By the way I also have a pair of BFG g-force T/a Drag Radials on seperate rims for the track so these tires will only be used for my daily driver (fair weather) street tires!Thanks

OK...I wasn't thinking....stock sizes added for fronts!

you want 265/40/17 for the front. If that size is not available, get 275/40/17.
