275 is width in millimeters, 40 is height in percentage of width. The tire is 275x.40mm tall. Get it?

295 is the widest recommended tire. It is possible to go larger, but you shouldn't

gotcha, im about to order some c6's and was going to get 18x9.5 on the front and 18x10.5 on ther rear. so 275-40-18 on the front and 295-35-18 on the rear sound like a good set up for the street?? not sure about tires yet but probably yokohama avs on front with nitto drag radials on the rear.

That's what I would do. The front come out to the right size and the rear will be a little tall

Someone is gonna jump in eventually and say you can use a 305 if you wanna, so I'll go ahead and say it, lol. Just don't do 315s on less than an 11 inch rim. People do, but it looks gay and isn't recommended.
