Default Newbie looking for tire and rim help

Trying to wade through tire and rim info and opinions, can be quite mind numbing. I like to post my conclusions and welcome anyone to poke holes in it. Cheaper now then after I pull the trigger on the purchase.
It's on a 2003 Z06 and am looking at Cray Scorpion rims. Fronts would be 18X9 with a 50mm offset and tires would be Michelin Super sport 275 or 265/35-18 (little help here would be great). The rear would be 19X10.5 with a 65mm offset and tires would be 305/30-19. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot. Really feel welcome now. We enjoy the Z. Rode motorcycles for the last 41 years and decided to give it up a couple years back and bought the Z06. Wife likes it because when it rains now, she stays dry. Just thought I post a couple of pics. The Z06 and my last bike for those that may be interested.
