Could you weigh it so we can keep track of different set ups?
Total weight wheel and tire is 57.8 lbs. post 24 in this thread cites the weight of the rims alone at ~26 lbs. so that means the M/T tires are approx ~31.8 lbs.
Mickey Thompson specs (below) say the tires are approx ~33 lbs, so coming in at 31.8 lbs is pretty well spot on

Add this one to the list for the Stingray/Z51.
Went out in the garage and weighed these.
M/T 285/40/18 SS, probably 75-80% tread left.
Racestar Darkstar 10.5 X 18.
56.2 lbs.

So sting ray guys only option are race stars or spindles from Carlyle
I would check with Jake at Vibe Motorsports.
He could probably get you into a 8-9 in. wide Forgestar rim.
It won't be a drag pack type. Still lighter than the Racestar or the stocker.
I'd use that Hoosier 245/40/18 for sure.

I am considering a 17 inch conversion kit from Carlyle actually. It's an acceptable compromise to a 15 inch conversion and I can get matching wheels this way too since I will run them all the time on the street and strip. Matching wheel design is important for me.
I have a quick question. I'm not sure what kind of front tires you guys are using but I guess there is a significant difference in tire height between the front and the rear for drag packs. Does traction control or any electronics on the car go crazy?
My C6 auto calibrated when I installed the new tires. Now with C7Z, I'm trying to pick a streetable race tire and wanted to make sure that I can still keep the traction control on with the new set up.

Appreciate your input.
I took 2 passes and didn't have any issues with a 25 .75" tire in the rear.
I have to share this video with you guys..
A project i just completed for the Shelby GT350R and what i could do for the Corvette https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-t8XDs60dEo
Maybe we can built some track wheels for the Corvette??
