Nitto Invos come close but they are junk and I'd never put them on any Z06.

Yep. I made the mistake of Nittos because they looked cool and seemed "fast" in the photos.

Michelins or death!

If you had correct wheels would it be able to run NITTO NT05's (not the 05 Drag tires)
Nitto 01's offer tons of grip and wear great and can be switch on the wheel to balance the wear from side to side, if the 05's are as good I'd run them over PS cups.
Come in these size
275/35R19 or 285/35R18
335/30R19

Not sure what the correct wheels, offsets would be to run these.

If you wanted to run a size down in wheels, they would definitely have to be custom in order to fit over the massive brakes. Those tires sizes you listed (285/35R18 and 335/30R19) would compliment each other better and will be a smidge taller in diameter than the stock 19/20 size tires.

BTW...NT-05s IMO get pretty slippery once they are really hot on the track. I'd rather run the MPSS in 18/19 sizes for the money.
