Default Replica Z06 Wheel?

Will this size of wheels fit well on a 97 C5 Coupe?
REAR WHEEL SIZE ( 18 X 10 1/2" )
FRONT WHEEL SIZE ( 17 X 9 1/2" )
OFFSET 56mm
BOLT PATTERN - ( 5 lug on 4 3/4" )

If so, what size tires would be best?
Thanks

An OEM Z06 wheel will fit just fine on a coupe, so if the specs of your replica rim are the same as OEM, you'll be in good shape. As to tire size, why not just go with the factory Z06 sizes - 265/40-17 front and 295/35-18 rear?

I'll do that, thank you!
