Man, the Z06 rims look so sharp on that color! Yeah, yeah, of course I'm biased, after all, we have the exact same rims

The "Black Ice" rims look pretty agressive, gotta go 18" though.

Yeah, I wish I could find them in Chrome, I have seen a few people with them and one 2000 trans am, they look awesome! if I get them, they will definantly be 18! not sure about tire sizes thou... would a 245-40-18 be too big for a 18x9 rim? or should I go with the 275-40-18 both are make by Khumo. and I don't really know what the difference is

About the tire sizes, I would go with a 275/35-18 because it
will give you an overall diameter close to factory specs for a
245/50-16. The 245/40-18 will work also, but for the rear I would
go with the 275. Do you plan on going with 18x9's all the way
around?

245/50-16 Diameter = 25.65"
245/40-18 Diameter = 25.72"
275/35-18 Diameter = 25.58"

275/40-18 Diameter = 26.66"

Your not getting rid of the Z06's are you? they look far superior to what you want to replace them with.

Thanks Nazzz, if I do they will all be 18x9. Yeah shifty I am thinking about it. I have always liked 5 spoke wheels and I think they are kinda old skool looking like the torq Thrust, in the way the spokes are rounded and I like that they are longer looking spokes.

Eh I dont like those so much. If you really wanna 5 spoke with some "bling" to it check these out. If you want old school I say just get some TT2's. And hey Camaro05 check out this tread https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=208622

i will prob be selling them quick6. but I have a friend who wants toput them on his firebird but If he doesn't I'll let you know.

I didn't know you could run 35s on a 9 inch wheel.

also, what is the difference between 265 and 275? does one have a taller profile?

265/55R17

first number is width of the tire
second is the ratio of sidewall to width so on this tire the sidewall would be 55% of 265 and the last number is the rim size.

so if I bought a 275/35/18 , that would have a lower profile than a 275/40/18 ?

I have those rim's but in 17's. I get compliment's like crazy on them!! They really do look better in person. Check my car out in readers rides if you want to see more pics of what they look like on the car. (I really do wish I had bought the 18's now!!)

They are 8 in the front and 9 in the rear. If I were to do it again I would go 9 all around and I would go with 18's!! The 8 and 9 inch rims are a little different. In the 8'' rim the center cap stick's out about 1'' for clearence, with the 9'' wheel the center cap is flush with the rim, and the 9'' look's alot more beefy. The tires are 245/45/17 in front and 285/40/17 out rear. I do have a few more pic's I will e-mail to ya.
