wheel option and tire size?

I've been thinking about getting a new set of wheels for the Z just to set it apart from the norm. I plan on keeping my stockers for the track, and the new ones for street use.

1. What do you think of these on the white beauty?

2. I can only find them in 18x8.5 / 19x10. I don't want rubber thinner than stock, especially on the back. Will 265's and 295's fit on these size rims?

3. I found some others that are 18x9.5. What are the widest tires that will fit on a 9.5in rim?

Not very crafty with the photoshop so excuse the rough pic

IT L GO thanks, I've decided not to go with the thinner 18's all around. I want a unique look, but don't want to give up any go for show, and these black C6 wheels have my eye.

The 18/19 combo looks killer... Unfortuneatly, there are very little choices for tires for that combo... I believe there are two, the P-Zero's being one which I've heard aren't that great. If you went 18's all around.. You could still have a great look and get Nitto's to boot..
