I'm a complete noob on wheel and tire sizing... i need some help guys. My 98 Trans am is lowered 2 inches with an eibach pro kit. I'm about to purchase some replica all black 17x9.5" c6 z06 wheels for my black trans am. says the tire that should be used is 275/40/r17. Will I run into any issues with rubbing and fitment since its lowered so far? thanks again guys sorry for the noobness

i run tt2s 17x9.5 radials out back kdw up front youll have zero problems but yeah good choice on wheels i was going to go for those wheels if i found a good deal but came across mint!!!! tt2s 17x9.5 all the way around and pretty much new tires for 750 and also get ready for that thing to handle like a dream running 275 all the way around

blackTAramair

thanks brah. and wow thats a killer deal. tires are going to be the tough part to find for cheap, but i got a couple months to look tho since the car won't be driven until this annoying snow melts. anybody got a picture of a black trans am with all black c6 z06's??

jdmotox333

You should also be able to run a 285/40/17 tires on the 17 x 9.5's without any issues.

I've got 17x9.5 "DD" C5's all around and when I need tires, I'm bumping the rears up from 275's to 285's just to give the rear a lil wider stance without trying to go way to big for a 9.5in wide wheel.

blackTAramair

oh i love the deep dish c5's. couldnt find a deal on them though. i'm going to go with 285's in the rear as well i think. the wider the better

jdmotox333

ya i hear ya man sometimes god cant even beat ebays prices lol

blackTAramair

how would it look if i went for a look like this? black on black with monster green brakes? i think it would look pretty cool on my trans am. just need some darker windows.

What looks good on other cars, won't necessarily look good on every car. (Lambo doors, for example ) That lambo is sick, but it also has HUGE break calipers. IMO it'd probably look dorky/out of place on a TA.

blackTAramair

ya thats very true lol. HATE lambo doors. anybody here good with photoshop??? photoshop my wheels on my car with some green calipers and darker windows??
these wheels. sorry not the best pic i could find on google

on this car. not the right angle so its gonna be hard. i really need better pics

just stick with the z06 wheels and your car will look incredible

Microsoft Paint FTW!



Wasnt able to do the z06 rims well...but here's the green brakes...I think they'd be a bitch to keep clean.

the black on black will look good. and i love my C6 Z06 wheels. but if you are goin to do a 285/40 in the rear ya might wanna think bout some 255/40 for the front to match the sidewall hight so ya dont have a fat sidewallup front and small in the rear

blackTAramair

not bad for MS Paint! they would be hard to keep clean. I just didnt want to do the red because thats what everyone and their mom does. but there is probly a reason for that. cuz it looks the best on black trans ams i guess. so i might just have to go with red...

might just do 275/40 all the way around. how would that look? urs looks good what wheel/tire setup do you have?
