17's vs 18's
For a nice performance look, or generally, which combo in your opinion look the best? For the z06's, 17's all the way around, 17's front 18's rear, or 18's all around. Also can you guys post some pics of the different combos so I can have a visual? I am mainly concerned with the z06's. Thanks

Im thinking about ordering the 17x18s black Z06s with the chrome lip/rivets, ive never relized how noticable the thicker sidewall is on the front tire. But im a cheap *** and rather pay for just 2 18in tires instead of 4, and 17s just look to small on Fbodies in the rear. If i get a good deal on some tires i might go 18s all around. Hopefully with a black wheel and a black car you wont notice the offset of the sidewalls as much

I was thinking if I did it, I would look at the Eibach Sportlines (1.6in drop) in the front, Prokit (1.2in drop) in the rear. I haven't done it yet, but I would check out the spring rates to make sure I'm not screwing myself on that combo. If I needed more of a drop in the front, I'd check out the BMRs. I like my set-up now with 17s all around, but I have thought about 18s out back and this is how I would approach it.

Do 18's handle that much better. I have 2 fbodies one with 17 and one with 18's thinking of switching, I just dont' know if they handle that much better, but less sidewall more bumpy and less traction so......
