Give me your opinions (PLEASE) Alright guys I am going to order myself some chrome wheels this weekend. I dont know which ones yet but its down to the Y2K Vette, ZO6, C6, or C6 ZO6. Heres the thing I have a white 98 SS an I have just purchased the Eibach Pro kit that will be one the car by the time the wheels arrive. Here are my 3 questions which wheels do you think I should go with? Should I get 17's up front or go with 18's all around? Lastly should I get 9.5's on the back or get a 10.5? Thanks for any thoughts an some pics would be nice.

I have 18x9.5 c6s all around and I love them, tire size 275/35/r18. Someone here has 19" chrome c6s on a white vert z28...hope they post so you can see what that looks like.

Of those choices, I'd pick the C5 ZO6 wheels.

c5 z06s...but Im biased. I kind of like the look of 17s up front and 18s out back. If funds allow it I would go with the 18x10.5s out back. If not, get the same size all around so you can rotate the tires and get the most out of your tread.

I have decided on the C6 wheel in chrome 17x9.5's on all corners. I wanted the 18x10.5's but I just got a new set of 17" tires when I bought the car so....... I think the combo of these wheels an the Eibach springs will look good.

I drive my car less than 300 miles a month so the wide back tire is of no concern to me. An the 18's tires are much more expensive from what I can see on tirerack. I think the 17's will provide me everything I am looking for in a rim. Since I have these ordered the stock ZR-1's are for sale if interested pm me for prices,pics, an details. Thanks for the advice guys

I also have a white Camaro, and have been tossing around pretty much the exact same ideas. I've been leaning towards 17's just because they're basically plug and play. But just to make sure...any possibility involving 18's all around or even just in the rears calls for adjustments for the speedo/odo/tranny right? There's no way to maintain the original aspect ratio?
