Going to get new black c5-zo6 wheels- Size Question Ok so I'm doing the ceta and adding some other black acents to my car. And I like the black c5-zo6 wheels a lot.
Would I be best off getting 17x9.5 all the way around our 17's in the front and 18x10.5 in the back. What size tires would be best for both options also?

i would go with the 18x10.5 to get some meat out back.
front tires 275/35/17
rear 295/30/18
the upside of getting all 9.5s would be with rotating tires. But appearance wise the 18x10.5 looks much better! GL

Thanks, and I don't care about rotating the tires too much. Do they have drag radials that come in the 295/30/18 size?

Why don't you go with C6 wheels? C5 Z's look like crap, I hate to see yet another 'Bird ruined by those wheels.
Go with the black C6's with the polished lip, those look frickin' KILLER on a red WS6. There's a guy on here with that combo, it looks sick. Do a search on it....deana'sdork, I think his name is.

Reason for staggered set-up is because I have 17x9.5 tt2's on my car right now and I could save money then by not having to get new tiries all the way around. hmm what about 17x.95 and 17x11 zr1's

Yes its lowered 1.5. I had to BFH on the inside alittle in the front of the wheel well and the back but nothing bad. Fronts dont hit at all and grip and look great. Whats wrong with your TT2's? Im selling my wheels....

Nothing wrong with my ttII's besides a little curb rash from the previous owner. I am going to be doing the ceta rear, sails, mirrors, and the bird on the front and trans am on the side black. I think black wheels will set it all off real well.

Yes I'll be selling them but they are 17x9.5 all the way around. Front tires are Continental extreme contact, and nitto 555r's out back. 275/40/17 is the size of all four. I can take pics tonight before I leave for work.

I'm running a full set of 17 x 9.5s, with a pair of 18 x 10.5s with drag radials on them. If you daily drive the **** out of your car, I would recommend not doing the staggered setup now, and getting an extra pair (18x10.5s or 17x11s) for the weekends/track nights.
