I was curious about the size of the rims and tires? I have a 1991 z28 vert and trying to get some ideas on rims and stuff. My main fear is lowering the car, I've been sitting on some Belltech Spindles in my Garage and have yet to put them on. Its hard not to keep the front spoiler from getting scratched let alone the air deflector underneath just as it is. Its 1 oclock and still at the job.

Yeah, i realized they were common when i got them. That is what is cool about them, they look GOOD on everything you put them on. So naturally, a thirdgen would look good with them too. I don't mind if somebody else has the same wheel as me.

Oh, and thanks guys, I'm glad you like it.

AND SUFER02000, the wheels are a 17x8 front with a 5 inch backspacing, and a 17x9.5 rear with 5.5 inch backspacing. The reason i didn't go with a 17x9.5 in the front is becase we'd have to get a custom offset to get it to clear the outer tie rod. I've heard of guys using the 9.5 in the front, but since I've put the 1LE suspension, spindles, and brakes under my car, i guess it's a little different than a normal Z28 or RS. Any decent tire/wheel shop should be able to help you find out what will fit on your car.
