17's do fit but you may have to run a spacer and longer studs for a better fit. Sometimes the back side of the spokes are what rub the caliper.

Be careful, not all 17's will work (I have a ground out Konig Monsoon to prove they don't work on only a 2 Biston Caliper from Baer!)

OEM 17 inch wheels are probably the safest, but there's still no garuntee it will totally clearance it, unless Willwood has told you they will for sure.

Thats just a sign that you should not have bothered with Konig Monsoons (one of the gayest wheels ever put on an f-body).

Uhh... Okay.... Personally I love they way they look on my car, and I get complimented on them often.
