The first number is tire thread width, second is sidewall ratio and third is wheel size.

Hey girlie, you have stock tires on stock wheels. Just go to any good tire shop and they will give you 2 or 3 options. BTW, don’t ask these same questions at the shop!

Google is your friend, seriously. All you'd have to ask is 'how do i tell tire size?' and then start reading.

Just be aware that the wider you go, the more road debris crap will get thrown up on the sides of the car. Rock chips will be more prevalent especially along the 1/4 panel where the body flares out in the back. Of course, you can always install the "long version" ZL1 splash guards to combat this.

Before I installed my custom made splash guards, even with the stock 18x7.5's, I got a lot of road splash thrown up on the lower sides of the car. Now, I get nothing. Even the lower rocker molding area stays pristine clean.

Someday, I'd like to buy wheel spacers to bring out the stock wheels a little, but the increased potential of getting rock chips in the paint, on the sides of the car, makes me hesitant to install them.

So they are like oil changes to me now LOL
I have nearly 40,000 miles out of my rears, Hankook Ventus V12 evo2's. I consider myself lucky, for sure.

No idea how though, but I have never done a single burn out (power brake), aside from the normal hard launch in 1st gear.

Me either but I cannot for the life of me get any distance out of a set of rears... Maybe its the roads or the climate where i live but I really don't know...

I agree on the 20x9.5 and 20x11, fills out the wheel well so much better. I have a 275 in the front (your rear tire size now) and a 315 in the rear, really adds to the look. Pic in signature is that set up.
