225/50/17 or 275/40/17 ?
Which ones should i use on a 17x9.5(Z06) inch rim? How much of a difference are there between the two and does anyone know of any place that has them so I can see the difference?Thanks

Dude, go 295s!! That's my only regret with my 18x9 wheels...max width is 275s. 225s aren't even doing justice to the Z06 wheels. My sorry *** stock tires when I bought my Z28...235/55R16 crappy Eagle GAs were wider than that.

I don't think anyone makes a "295" street tire in the 17" wheel size. There is a Kumho ECSTA V710 295/40-17, but that's a nearly treadless dry track road racing tire. And while a 295 might be OK for the rear wheels, its going to be sort of tight in the front.
As far as a 225/50-17, most manufacturers do not recommend putting those on anything wider than an 8.0" wheel.

Just ordered some Kumho ASX 275/40/17. I liked the way they looked and pretty decent ratings. Just have to wait for the tires to arrive on monday and get them mounted.
