Heavy rims make a difference in rear wheel numbers?
I have 18" Chrome C5s (heavy as hell) on my '99 TA, and could put on a set of 16" Alloy or 17" Alloys if it would make a difference--since it would be spinning much less weight?
Also, the tuner should be able to edit out the rear o2 sensors right? If so, I want to remove my sims--can I remove the sims before tuning? It should only throw a code and not effect drivability right?
Thanks!

Any weight the engine has to acclerate will sap power. The heavier the wheels, the lower the numbers.
Yes, any LS1 tuner can turn off the rear O2 sensors so that you won't need sims.
