Default I have money need rims

Ok guys so I got into some money now and need some rims. I was thinking C6 Z06. Actually thats what I'm going with. I just need to know what color. Either chrome or black with a polished lip. I'm afraid I'll miss the chrome. But I saw a black TA with black and polish. And it looked amazing. So guys make an argument for me to make my mind up. I will be buying from OE Wheels. So Lance feel free to chime in.

Also the size is 17x9.5 front and 18x10.5 back. Will these rub in anyway? Is the front ok? And does the back require any hammering or modification?

Now to tires. What are you guys running? What do you guys recommend? Also what sizes should I be shopping for?

Any other info on this would be appreciated.

I almost started a thread "I have rims need Money".

On stock vehicles from 94-02 (94+95 TAs has some limitations) 17x9.5 /18x10.5 will be fine with 265-40-17 / 295-35-18 ... Fatter tires that this may work but we can't guarantee it.

Don't forget to ask us for a quote on a tire and wheel package. We are pretty competitive there too!!!

#4 with 18's all around 9.5 in front and 10.5 in the back. I had 19x10 in the rear and I had to do the BFH mod to keep from rubbing.

I think you should go with the black with rivets. Also, I'd get 18's all around. On their eBay store, they have a package listed with 18x8.5 fronts, and 18x10.5 rears. I almost ended up getting them in gunmetal, but decided on the machined C5' instead.

Ok here is a picture I found of a TA that close looks to mine. From the tint to the side markers. Only thing I have is the bigger hood. Thanks my_bandit for the pic:

(These are ruff 278's but you get the idea)

You gys can always call and our sales people can set up packages with whatever sizing you need. They can quote you on wheel and tire packages as well - free mounting and roadforce balancing.

#2 & #3 would look best, especially #2, but thats just because I love the classic black and chrome look.
