Re: 17" vs 18" Fikse FM 10's??? 18s all the way! I got FM/5s on order from Cliff @ Fikse. 18/10.5 in the rear & 18/9.5 in the front. Tires: Pilot sports, 295/35,18 in the rear and 265/35,18 up front. This is the biggest 18' wheel and tire combo you can put on a f-bodys without grinding,spacers.....My wheels are due to ship out from Fikse on the 12th so I should get them around the 17th or 18th and I'll have pics up around the 19th. Gm High Tec had a blown C5 with 18' FM/10s a couple issues ago and they looked sweet. If your gonna spend the money on Fikses why stick with the stock size?

Re: 17" vs 18" Fikse FM 10's??? I'm partial to the 17's on our cars but thats just me. I had 18 y2k wheels and just thought the sidewall of the tire was to small.

Re: 17" vs 18" Fikse FM 10's??? Thats right Dustin , I forgot you had those ! I just traded my rodlites for a set of chrome Vette rims , Did you have any problem with the 18s rubbing the inner fender on the drivers side when you turn right ? Mine are rubbing on corners , Should I see about spacers on the back ? Im not a fan of 18s either , Wish I just had 17s all around !!!
