17x11 or 15x10 Billet Specialties????? I am so confused on what to do!! I am currently running 17x11 with the Hoosier 315x35x17 and the car is dead hooking (1.45 60')!! I really like the look of the 15x10 Street lites with 275x50x15s but dont know if I want to screw up a good thing. What do you guys think I should do??
After i get my narrowed rear end so i have a really deep dish! 
17s look better Trending Topics

Now I could be wrong if something has changed since the last time I talked to dragwheelz but just giving you a heads up. My only option is a custom bogart wheel.

On the 17" wheel all offsets are available.
On the 15" wheel without grinding on the calipers the 7.5" is the only one available. Now if you have Lt1 Calipers and want to grind you can run a 5.50 offset. If you have Ls1 brakes they will not work.
If you are cutting a 1.45 and drive the vehicle alot, Run the 17x11.

Yeah, with the 1.45 60 it hooked so hard it actually pulled the driverside front wheel about 7 in! And thats with 275x40x17 on ZR1's! I guess I am just afraid I will not hook as well on the 275x50x15. I do like the looks of the bigger sidewall but the width of the 315's looks killer. I guess I will be calling Dragwheelz and ordering soon. The 17's that is along with the 15x4's for the front. Thanks for all the input guys!

or 17's all around....just get skinny 17's up front...the staggered look on these cars doesnt look too good in my honest opinion. For example on mine, i have 17x9.5 and 17x11. I would never put 15" TTII's up front with my badass 17x11's wide rears...it would look pretty retarded but thats just me.. Good luck and please post pics!!!
