OK guys I'm getting some new 17's for my car and am not sure at all what size tire to run. I want to run bigger in back. Any suggestions would be awesome. They are 9.5 inch wide and i got the 2 inch spacers for them. Thanks for any suggestions.

Tim

Well you can fit 295's on those but it'd be bulbous and look weird. I'd stick with 275/40-17 or at best 285/40-17.

EDIT: Black wheels are sweet. Shocked

I ran 255s on 17's and 275s on 18's and neither rubbed. It's all about where the wheel is located in the fender. What's the offset on those? Smile

Oh what ever the stock off set of a 4th gen wheel is. All I could find was 17X9.5/56mm. If that helps any. I plan on dropping the car also. At most inch and a half.

56mm is the offset.

i've been wanting to get a set of those in black...

glad they don't have the stupid rivets or partial chrome like the ZR1's or the 10 spoke SS wheels in black do

17 x 9.5 / 56mm replica. These wheels are manufactured in a original equipment plant to original specification. They are DOT, JWL, VIA and TUV approved. They are side impact and load bearing tested. They are manufactured with the highest quality A-365.2 virgin aluminum. The finish is superior and we are the manufacture.

Took that right off of ebay.

Black. They are a powder coat, clear coat finish and not a one stage enamel. This is the correct way to finish a wheel.

That also.
