Help me decide size please.... I am about to buy some new wheels and tires and I am stuck, should I get 17x9's or 18x9.5's? What offset should I get on both to get the most tire under the rear of my '02 Z28?

Well you have a few choices and different thoughts on this I have 17x9.5 all around and I run 245 45 17 up front and 315 35 17 in the rear with no problems. yea I get some flex in the tires on the rear but nothing im worried about, it actually saved me a rim when it kicked sideways racing a 350z and hit an island.

No one else has anything? They say they come in +35mm offset for both the 17x9 and the 18x9.5. I cant find the stock snowflake wheel specs, but I figure that the 18x9.5's would look good and not extend out of the wheel well.
