Ditching the Beat Up Rims
So i just want to clear a few things up.
Ive looked for these answers and find multiple answers for them...
Question #1---whats the size of an OEM 1999 WS6 17" tire? Is it 8.5" or 9"??
Question #2(might be answered by #1)---would 275/40R17s fit a Corvette C6 rim 17x8.5?
Question #3---where is the best place to buy C6 rims in terns of prices? (not ebay or craigslist)
http://www.lakeshorewheelandtire.com...firebird.shtml
this place makes replica wheels. How about these?

And for the c5 is +56mm with 7.45 backspacing?

yeah i seen how most went with the 18s on the back.. but i figure it would be more expensive and nothing but a hassel. (when rotating tires/spacers when lowering/etc.) and 18s all around look too big half of the time IMO

i'm sure urs is sharp as well and from what i've read it sounds like you have some good mods on the way as well. the red car is all bone stock besides wheels, awesome stereo system, and exhaust. when i bought that car i fixed everything to make it look brand new again. my SS has been lowered, wheels, 3.73s, SLP y pipe, SLP LM, PCM tune, short shifter, subframe connectors, strut brace, manta stripe on the hood, and berger panel painted. its got a few other little things done that aren't really a big deal. i wanted to tackle the appearance stuff first and then im going to really get into the motor. i'm a poor college kid and maintaining 3 vehicles is expensive so we will see when the motor stuff starts.
