SS wheels-------
SS wheels------- I have the 2000 SLP 10 spokes on my SS and was wanting to know if 295/35/17 will fit? Will I be getting maximum traction here? I have heard of the tire "folding" if it is to big??? They are 9" rims
Thanks guys

Re: SS wheels------- Not sure. I saw a C5 that had them on it the other day when I was in for warranty work at my local chevy dealer. They were on z06 style rims. i didnt bother to look at what brand it was I just assumed it was BFGs but doesnt Pirelli make those tires sizes?? not sure tho.

Re: SS wheels------- Who makes a 295/35 17? I've been looking for Z rated 17"s smaller than 315s and all i can find are 285s.

Re: SS wheels------- Oh, if they were 18s that makes sense; I have looked high and low and there are no 295s in 17". And most tire companies don't make their highest performance tires in 285s either; so you are stuck with either 275s or 315s. I really need something in the middle and don't want to go with 18s. Oh well...
