Like everything, this is a tradeoff, too. Wider tires on wider wheels will afford you more grip and cornering capability, but wider rears may step out more easily on our cars and may be more prone to tramlining.

However, the stock Goodyear runflats are spectacularly bad and not representative of a proper street tire that you can actually use in the wet, especially as temps get colder. Don't let this experience alone steer you away from wider tires.

For example, I have Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, much wider than stock, and have zero issues with hydroplaning or wet traction, I can drive almost the same way in a downpour as I do when driving like a normal person. Continental also makes excellent tires for our cars, these are both quiet, ride much better and have no issues in the wet.

My recommendation would be to first just get some takeoff SS wheels and get proper tires in stock SS sizes, which will already be a tangible improvement over your stock LT1 setup. Then if you want still better dry traction and/or look, you can step up to SS 1LE / ZL1 sizes later (but that will cost you much more and you may never really need it, hence my recommendation). The ultimate is ZL1 1LE sizing that is even wider (on 19" wheels, though), but unless you race the car, you'll never need that.
