Default Z06 or ZR1?

What wheels should i go with for my 97 Z28. I will be putting an ss hood on it with a black scoop if that changes anyone's mind. If i go with the Zr1's, i will go 17's all the way around, if i go with the C5 Z06's i may go with 18's. Let me know. Post any pictures if ya got em. Thanks.

yeah that will fit, but you will need to grind down the bump stops(maybe) and roll your fenders, make sure you get the right offset for your car

you need 50mm for the rear. you might have to do the bfh mod too. if your car is stock height, you might not have to roll your fenders.

no mods, but most times you will only find 18s as 18x11 or 18x8.

red.

my roommate has a 06 charger. that is your color and we painted his calipers black bc we thought red wouldnt look right. the next day we saw a maroon srt8 charger with red calipers and it looked bad ***. i thought that the colors would clash. but they actually looked pretty good.

Mine isn't marron though. it used to be and it was wrecked before i bought it and they didn't use the factory color. Its more of a dark orange.
