Default options for OE replica 17x9 wheels for 02 TA

I just picked up an 02 WS6 and it came with weld prostars front and rear, and no other rims. I plan on keeping the current wheels for drag days, but i want an OE replica corvette C6 wheel. I like the C6 Z06, and ZR1 wheels, but they appear to only be available in 17x8.5. I want to run 275/40R17's and an 8.5" rim is just under the minimum width for that tire. I have 17x8.5's on my Mustang GT with a 275/40, and its just not quite right.

Am i missing some of the wheels? does any one know of a replica or close copy of those OE vette wheels in 17x9?

thanks!!

I think that you might have to go 18's to get what you are looking for.
