In the near future, my '02 Z28 will get slightly lowered and then I'll need a new set of rims. I want a set of rims that are:

1. the same size at all 4 corners so that I can do tire rotations.
2. to be at least 17x10 and will fit without having to do pain in the *** modifications like the BFH mod or the rolling of fender lips.
3. to be specifically made for the 4th-gen f-body so that I won't have to send measurements to a custom wheel manufacturer.
4. to be relatively light (at most, 22 lbs. per wheel) and still not cost more than $1,500 per set.

Does such a wheel exist? If so, then what comes closest to my specifications? Thanks in advance for the info.

Boyd Coddington Smoothies will fit those lines, but they are HEAVY

really, 17x10 will be a problem in the front? I have a lowered Formula and thought about doing 17x10 in the front

will it rub when turning ot make it harder to turn? I was thinking either a 275/40/17 or 285/40/17
will the 275/40/17 fit on a 17x10?

With the right offset, the 17x10's shouldn't be a problem. I'm running OZ Competition 17x10's (49mm offset) with 275/40/17's up front and 315/35/17's in the rear. Lock to lock turns do not rub but are very close. I'm thinking about running 315's all the way around.

im saying, when making turns or parking, i noticed that the 245 50 16s were alot easier to turn instead of the 275 40 17s. less rubber up front & less resistance. i could cut the wheel a whole hell of alot easier. but the wider, low profile tires are always better for handling it all depends on what you wanna do with the car. im more of a str8 line acceleration guy, so im gonna go with some weld prostar 15x 5s or smaller up front and 15x 10s in the back.
