Default Wheel and tire questions

THis has probably been beat to death, but I thought I'd toss this out there anyway. First, the car.



I assume those are a Z06 wheel. Correct?

Fronts are 17, rears are 18. Currently they are running Goodyear Eagle F1 in 265-40-17 and 265-40-18 (Front/Rear respectively). I don't know the rims' width.

My question is, what is the stock rim and tire size/width? My owner's manual is useless, searches on teh internets give me a variety of information.

And all that aside, is the combination I currently have on this car, a good combination, from a practical and performance POV?

When it's time for new rubber, I want something that works, and is a smart purchase. I don't necessarily need super badass sticky rubber. I use this car as my secondary transportation, and hardly for any kind of performance driving. Motorcycles are my first mode of transportation.

Thanks,
Scott

I think this is what you're looking for. Looks like it's from the NCRS manual. Of course there's always a chance that these are aftermarket look-alikes that may or may not be the same width. Be worthwhile checking since you will be investing north of a kilo buck for four new tires.
