Default Chrome C6 Z06 on red Firebird *Sizes?*

How many people with bright red Firebirds / Trans Am's are running chrome C6Z wheels? I'm thinking that's what I want when I order my wheel/tire package in 17x9.5 but I haven't seen very many results on red cars...

Yeah I like the way the chrome C6Z wheels looks against the bright red a lot!

I always planned on getting 17x9.5 all the way around with 275/40R17s...would those make it look like there was "too much" tire (sidewall)? My car isn't lowered. I don't plan on lowering it.

I like the idea of being able to rotate the tires but I know a lot of people get 17's in front and 18's in back. Also the 17's I wouldn't need a speedo recal, how would adding 18's with tires mix things up? I have no idea what tire sizes on 18's would keep the speed cal accurate...

Not too much sidewall, those are stock tire sizes on 17inch wheels. You would not need a speedo recal with 17's and you won't either with 18's and I THINK you would need a 30mm sidewall with 18's but that would look very thin if you don't lower it.
