Default Z06 tire size?

I have a '97 and have been thinking of getting some Z06 wheels. I was thinking of getting them in the Z06 size (not sure what that is) so I can take advantage of bigger tires. So what size are the tires that go on the Z06 wheels? Do I need to run a spacer? Any help would be great! Thx in advance for the help.

The rear Z06 tires are 295/35-18 and the wheel is a 18x10.5. The front tires are 265/40-17 on a 17x9.5 wheel. You could also run a275/40-17 up front on the 17x9.5" wheel.

You won't need adapters, just bolt 'em on.

Also to further answer your question the widest tire that will fit without issues will be a 315 for the rear. However on the 10.5" wide wheel this will not give you the full advantage of the 315 width. The widest that fits properly would be the 305.
