Been on the sidelines here in Japan for a year. Coming back to the States in about two weeks and will go get my vette shortly after that. I've been considering upgrading my tires and wheels to 17"-ers. Any suggestions? (digital photos would be GREATLY appreciated). Thanks. :seeya
for wheels, the best choice is http://www.afswheels.com
AFS come with the correct offsets for 84-87s and you wont have to worry about spacer plates. They also have wheel/tire packages.
Check out this pic below of my '87. I was able to use 315/35-17ZR's and have it look right by using the '89+ offset. Wheels are ROH 17" x 9.5". If you don't use this much rear offset, the best you can do is 275's.
BTW, nothing rubs or drags.
