Good choice. Post up some installed pics once you get everything mounted and installed.

JeepSRT+7;
Since you have already ordered them, I will tread softly?
1) West-coast Corvette does not specify whether XO Luxury-Verona are rotary forged or cast?
At $1799.95 most likely cast for 19" X 9.5"; 20" X 11" size wheels.(note: Stock Z51 are
forged)
2) 275 vs 245 front tire size may or may not exacerbate the "Ackerman" chatter (effect).
3) Wider wheels may also change your suspension geometry?
For instance, even where the alignment is corrected, there can be significant changes in the
"scrub radius" of the car and unfortunately in most production vehicles, scrub radius "cannot
be directly adjusted?
4) Michelin, Pilot Sport 4S tires, were developed for: Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. In general- Sport cars, performance sedans and powerful luxury vehicles?
(West-coast Corvette advertises them as Corvette tires, but in reality they are not specifically designed for your Corvette? Your stock OE ZP run-flats are designed for your Z51 "package")
5)305/25-20 may rub periodically, if lowered and/or load-down with cargo? (295's are fine).
Many thanks,

Captain, you are correct. I just labeled wrong. I have the AS3+ on the stock rims.
Rayland, thank your for your insight. Yea the hopping in a turn may be more pronounced. I accept this behavior of our tires..stock sized or not. I’ll look into the construction of the rim. I preferred the PSS ZP tires but don’t think they come in the sizes I want.
Steven, what size rim and tire do you run?
my car is not lowered. I probably won’t do that anyway.

I re-scheduled it now with FedEx for next week when I KNOW I'll be home. Apparently they sent it requiring MY signature...due to the value of the shipment. Okay cool, but I didn't know that till AFTER the second attempt.
I'm expecting a lousy color match to the interior...based on pics I've seen. I'll report once I get it installed.

Buying the rims from West Coast Corvette...they came with black lugs at no extra $$. 
VERY easy to work with those guys. I believe I got the last set of black...until they get more in.
