i am still debating on either 15x6 front, 15x10 rear or 17x9 front and rear. can yall post pictures if you have these sizes or somthing close to it. and post the size of the rims and tires... and if your running 15x10's are you running a 5" back spacing?

I wouldn't get skinnies up front. For one, they make the car handle like crap. Also, they will look funny as the wheel will sit inside the fender well.

I see you're from VA. We're having another 3rd Gen meet in Sept, near Baltimore, check the Mid atl board for more info.

I like the way my 17x9's make the car look and handle.

If you are buying aftermarket rims, you are flushing your money down the toilet if you buy anything less than 17" for these cars.

i would love to buy 17x9 Snypers with 275/40-17 on the rear and 245/45-17 front but i am thining it is going to look funny cause my car sits kinda high! and i wouldn't have any money left to lower it. the rims alone would be close to 900 more like 1400 with tires. and i have no idea on backspacing for the 17x9's. and the spindle on the front rotor is that going to cause a problem it kinda sticks out really far.

I have 17x9.5 ZR1 wheels on 255/40-17 tires. The wheels have 56mm offset (corvette offset) Got the wheels and tire set off ebay for $1200. 4th gen rear and 2.5" adaptors from www.skulte.com in front. 16" wheels are too small and 18" are too big, but 17" is just right.
