Default Z06 SS wheels on a 94 Z28

Anyone running the ss wheels on a 94 z28? What sizes and pics if possible. I am looking into buying a set but I see so many people running different things. Suggestions would be great. Car is stock height and staying that way. Thanks

17 and 18" sizes are commonly available for our cars. 9.5" for a standard 275 width is mainstream. 11" and 315's are possible.

The "safest" low cost vendor is probably TomZWheels or AFS, those seem to be some of the best knock-offs. Tom runs some really good specials here, and seems to be pretty flexible.

18's look better, but tires are going to cost you more, and ride quality takes a hit, especially if you are going there from 16s. They will handle better but will suffer some in launch bite.

Some people like 17's up front with 18's in the rear. I personally would never do that because you can't rotate front to back that way, and many of our cars feather the fronts over time, even with proper alignment.

17's all around represented the best compromise for me, and I suspect it would for somone with a '94 as well.

Just go to toms website. All the standard f-body sizes and offsets are already there for you, waiting. Those will cover you unless you are purposely looking for a odd offset or something.
