What are the best 11" wheels for a 2002 SS? I want to get the 11" wide Nitto 555R drag radials but I need to pick up a set of wheels for the rear that will fit them.
Can anyone tell me who makes a nice 17" X 11" wheel that would look really nice on my car and have the proper offset so that the wheels won't stick out more then an inch on the sides of the wheel well?
Thanks,
Dan

Re: What are the best 11" wheels for a 2002 SS? Polished AFS ZR-1's 17x11 315 Nitto DR's in the rear and 17x9.5 275 Nitto Extremes's on the front.
The 83-86 Corvette offset fits a Firebird PERFECTLY!
AFS also has a setup for Camaro's that fits just as well... but a little different offset.
If you like this style rim, call AFS... they will tell you exactly what offset will fit your car best.

Re: What are the best 11" wheels for a 2002 SS? AFS chrome ZR-1 17x11 here. They are the Grandsport Offset (50mm). I had to slightly bash in a few spots on inner wheel well, no problem now. You also will have a probem with the bump-stops, even if you take them off. When jacking the car from the correct place the wheel will hang on the bum-stop mounting pad. You can just jack from the axle to avoid this but that's not always the right answer.

Re: What are the best 11" wheels for a 2002 SS? Does AFS carry 18x11 inch rims? I wanna get some 18's on my car but cant seem to find anything that looks any good in the above size. <img src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" border="0">

Re: What are the best 11" wheels for a 2002 SS? BadBoy - As far as I know, there is only one tire company that makes a 315/30/18. I don't even know if you can get it, because its the tire that comes on the Porsche GT3.
If you want 18x11s, your only option is probably going to a HRE or FIKSE wheel.
