trying to pick a tire/rim set up Ok heres the deal...
Im trying to find a nice looking tire/rim set up; as inexpensive as possible (i dont have 2gs for rims); 17" rim, as wide as i can get (that i dont have to worry about weight slowing me down); also i dont want to have to deal with any major fitment issues... id like them to fit in the fenders nicely
also i dont want to have to recalibrate my speedo
anyone that likes their set up and fits my little criteria please chime in...
sorry, but i just dont have the time of day to look trough 15million tire/rim combos
i really appreciate the help

search for hp wheels you can tell since the centercap says HP
also there really aren't that many options out there for us rwd and same bolt pattern especially if you don't want to spend look at the sponsors to the right like discount tire or Tomzwheels there are good prices and from what I hear good service to answer your first question I currently run 17x9 chrome firehawk wheels with BF goodrich KDs
also to fit the fenders nice you will need some lowering springs if you can see my pics in the link there are gaps in the wheel well because I am stock height

If cost is one of the most important things look at the ZR1s. I know there are a lot of them out there but you absolutely cannot find a better deal. They come in 17x11 - as wide as you can comfortably fit.
If you do not want to do any modifications stick with the 9.5" version of them rather than the 11s
