Default Wheel sizes for stock suspension

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for new wheels for my '13 base Z. I'm on stock suspension and looking to stick with 18".

I see that stock wheel sizes are 18x8 +43 front, 18x9 +15mm rear, and was wondering if it's recommended to stick with these sizes, or if someone here has found a better setup for fitment/looks/performance.

Any help is appreciated!

How big of a tire do you desire to run; as there are million's of combo's...I too am on stock suspension-but maximized all of my backspacing & came out to the edge of the fender.

Most likely stock tire sizes as well. What wheel/tire setup are you running? Just want to see how much more aggressive of a setup I can run without rubbing or poking.

(+38 all) minor adjustments to rear traction arms; I do have rear adjustable camber arms.
Camber spec. is -0.75* all 4 corners.
Wheels/Tires came from [Jason@getyourwheels.com] they carry a huge variety.
