245/60x15 in the front and 255/60x15 rear. F41 will give you a stiff ride. Front and rear sway bars and a front spreader bar along with Bilstein shocks.

Even the factory used 255/60 x15. You are not going to get Z51 handling with the available 15" tires. It's not the rim size, 15" tires are no longer available in true performance ratings.

Performance and ride quality I interpret as being opposites. The Z51 is equivalent to the F41 in a C3. Stiffer springs, shocks, and larger front sway bar plus rear bar. So not sure what your goal is...
