Post ok wheel & tire guys in here

I was looking at getting some silver z06 wheels with tires in the near future. www.performancewheeloutlet.com has them in 17x9.5 for $219.00/wheel and 18x9.5 for $239/wheel. Is this a good price? Do you think that would be a good size? Would 17's in the front and 18's in the back work? If so what size tires would I need for these 17's and 18's in order to keep everything how it is with no speedo recal? Also what is a good set of tires to slap on these (street not drag) that won't cost me an arm and a leg? Thanks in advance guys.

PWO is not cheaper than anyone else. I wasn't happy with their customer service:

Try AFSwheels.com or xmotorsports.com

To avoid throwing off the ABS/ASR you have to match the tire sizes (specifically the outside diameter) front-to-rear. Go for 18x9.5" all round if you can.

275/35/18 will match the factory tire diameter, so the speedo will be unaffected.

I got mixed reviews on the Kumhos, so I went with the Yokohama AVS dB in that size. Quiet, great grip, good in the rain, with a high treadwear rating. Just the thing for my daily driver.
